bye 2013 Fairy Garden ... until next year!

 

Dismantled this year’s fairy garden … My dad used to take me for wheelbarrow rides in this wheelbarrow 50 years ago.  It was a perfect place for the fairies to play this year and much easier to tend to … 2 feet above the ground.   Used an old funnel to add another layer of planting.  Rog drilled holes in the bottom for drainage and it was real easy to move to mow the grass.  Dad’s been gone 24 years this week … bet he’s glad I’m still getting use of his old wheelbarrow!

Thanksgiving 2012

... so we are Blessed and Thankful for many things ALL year!
  This year our Thanksgiving food festival started on Friday nite November 16th with a Mexican food feast with Stef and Rich.  Then on to the 1st Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday, November 18th (with Bryan home from SLC and Rog and Bruce and Shell and Kathy and 'Nanny' Michelle and Kev and Dick and Tom).  Sue and Steve came out from Ohio for the actual Thanksgiving Day feast on November 22nd ...
... Joe is in college now and wanted to spend some time with 'a friend' over Thanksgiving break.  He stayed back in OH and took care of the pups ... Madison and Lola.  Stefanie worked a double (helping to keep us safe) on the actual T-day, Rich stopped in with his parents.  It was great to Richard and Marilyn.   Bry had already headed back to SLC to orchestrate his own Thanksgiving dinner with friends (and get back to his new job).  Linda came up from Saybrook with Callie and her  pup sitting charge - Zoe.  Kev made the gravy!

there was plenty to eat
and drink
Kev, Lexi and Bella
6 pups Thanksgiving Day ... it was a little CRAZY!
Lexi, Jack, Kai, Callie, the new pup - Zoe and Bella waiting for Turkey bites from Aunt Linda!
our turkeys were not short on Tryptopahn ...
baby Zoe even had to take a nap
and Bryan had to take a nap
and Kevin had to take a nap
VERY thankful for our family and friends, for food on our tables, a roof over our heads, change in our change purses, warm and dry nests and God's furry creatures. 
We are Blessed.

Bryan's Graduation Gala

This way to ...

Pizza Poni out of Old Saybrook fed us the best stuffed breads, Caesar salad and Pizza!
Pizza and stuffed breads made in a wood burning stove

does anyone see the possibilities here?  With this many culinary wizards in one family and a sports management grad, I envision an Italian/Irish sports bar by the sea that also goes on the road to do private parties and sporting/tailgating events :) with extensive background in security ...

BEST TIME! Thank YOU so much to everyone who attended, and missed those who could not be there! PIZZA PONI was awesome - so YUMMY! Wished it lasted for 3 more days! I forgot to serve coffee, I still have things to say ... loved Kevin & Bryan's closing day speeches! Thanks to all who made this day possible (chefs, entrepreneurs, friends, family, kitchen witches, workers, partiers, entertainers, and pet sitters too!) … it was WAY FUN! ♥

There is much work to do ...
moving things here ...

and texting too

Siblings are awesome!
2nd Cousins rock!

Grammies are so cool!
