It has become a tradition at our house to take photos by the front door when Scott, our very favorite son has to be driven to the airport in Little Rock to make the flight back to San Francisco. Remember when you could drive your departing relative to the airport, go in with them, sit and watch planes land and take off while visiting for those last minutes before they had to board the plane? I hate those days are gone because it seems to me we 'just kick 'em out at curb' while they wait a couple of hours to take off. I miss those times. Truth be told though, maybe the departing relative actually enjoys those 'waiting' minutes as they head for home. Anyway....this is one of our 'leaving' photos. Scott and his Dad. I love this one....making a special memory.
Oh, gosh. Favorite son and mother. I'm already getting sad and we haven't even left for the airport yet! He is so dear..... and FUNNY! He makes me laugh. Not everyone can. We kind of share the same sense of humor. Daughter shares Dad's. I guess that is the way families go.
I LOVE this photo!!! My favorite son AND my favorite daughter. What a combo! They continually amaze me....and I think they are so cute! It was a wonderful Thanksgiving....mostly because I have these two in my life...and their Dad....the hours fly by and turn into more memories. I know YOU have your own memories too. And, we are all grateful for them. Yes, a good time was had by all! (Even the other twenty folks sharing the time with us!)
I couldn't resist showing you this cartoon....just add it to the others in my previous post. I thought it was appropriate for an 'after-Thanksgiving' cartoon. Oh, go ahead and laugh....haven't we all kinda felt this way after the holidays?
There you are.....hopefully, you are smiling. I'll be back in a few days to show you something else. Right now I've no idea what, but rest assured, I will come up with something. Meantime, stay warm, safe and cozy and have a good day! (And don't forget.....I'll have another Giveaway for Christmas!) pat
PS. Yesterday I mailed off nine of the little books from my Giveaway.
Allie, I still need your address!
And, yes, I know someone is going to ask why there are Victorian Valentines and such around my front door facing during Thanksgiving. So, to satisfy you curious folks.....I had in my head to collect Vintage, or reproduction Vintage, Valentines to put around my door. They are always there...as I add to the collection. This because one of my trademarks on my work is the heart motif and I just love the Vintage cards, Yeah, I know it's kinda strange. I don't mind being strange when it suits my fancy. You can see that I haven't fully surrounded the door yet, but I'm working on it. Nothing good comes in a hurry, it seems and I tend to have a lot of patience.
