food, crochet, merriment
We do this awesome thing each year.
We gather and make the most adorable gingerbread houses–started for our family my my sweet daddy–Grampa to most of these folks–when I was only 16. Now, the very smell of the cooking honeycake will send many of us back to Grampa’s bake shop out back.
It’s a beautiful, sweet thing.
Happy Thanksgiviing 2025 everyone!!
When your son is such a strong, brave, kind, talented, incredible person…
that they make him into an action figure.
I’ll take two.
I sure love you boy.
Our sweet Jessica is a lovely member of the AF Symphony and we LOVE going to her concerts!
So it goes without saying that when they had one totally dedicated to video game music–
we said, “Ohhhh HECK yeah!”
Apparently, a boatload of people felt the same.
Before it started the place was
packed!!
They even had sweet little programs that looked like controllers…
a slightly eerie choir…
and a video music trivia game where people won all kinds of retro prizes–
like Lemonheads, and Laffy Taffy and Chick-o-Sticks!
If I’d have only known…I’d have studied ahead.
Every bit of this fun music made a couple of people…
incredibly happy.
Good job Jessica! You’re amazing and we love you.
Welcome to my official Birthday party…in the canyon…that I love almost as much as these awesome people.
But not quite.
In truth, as much as I love the canyon…
I actually love these people…
a billion…
times…
more.
Ok, a trillion.
Easy.
Now that we’ve established how much I love my sweet family, I still have to say…
look at this beautiful scenery!!
Even with the sleepy girl, haha.
The canyon in the fall is the most beautiful place with the changing leaves…
the chilly river…
and the gorgeous mountains.
And all I have to do is sit here and love it all.
Which is amazingly easy.
Families are forever and I’m so grateful.
