Closing out November...

The weather has been amazing the past few weeks. There have been some cool rainy days, but above normal warm days seem to have outnumbered the cool ones. We closed out the long Thanksgiving weekend with a hike at Buck Hollow/Buck Ridge, one of our favorite loop hikes in Shenandoah National Park.

A long view...

and a close-up view.

Thanksgiving

A great time was had by all, as we reflected on everything we to have to be thankful for.

The hors d'oerves were excellent, and it was a nice day to sit outside
while we enjoyed them.

The turkey emerges from the fryer. It was very moist & yummy.

Marty & Laura checking on the brisket (it was awesome)!

A few of the side dishes...

When the wood blocks couldn't be assembled into a cube, a tower was created and tested by balancing random objects on it.
