With Thanksgiving in Mississippi out of the way Pat, Chris, Kyle and Blake got all geared up for deer hunting. The weather turned off really cold and they all started later than planned. No one has shot a deer yet ... not even a lil buck that would cost them big bucks, lol. I figure one of them will get a deer at some point... but if not... oh well... they enjoy the hunting any way.
Tuesday before Thanksgiving Pat and I left headed to Bama and we detoured by the airport to put Brooke on a plane to North Carolina. Things were right on schedule and soon as Brooke was in the air we headed on to Bama. I could hardly wait to see what had been done... but knew I would be disappointed and it would not be enough, lol. The pictures will show you we have made progress and everything is looking GREAT.
See my arched doorways. The front door will be stained at some point and stand out more. Notice the dining room table is not in the center of the room and I think we will all enjoy that.
You can see the pantry door and the arched doorway to the kids room( xbox room, mud room, seems we can't settle on a name for it.
Thursday Pat and I drove Mom and Dad to Adamsville to the Spears for Thanksgiving dinner. The crowd was smaller than normal but the food was great. Faye can make some good dressing. Again I did not get many pictures here but will post a few. Seems I only got pictures of the kids, I have got to work on that. I am sure I missed some good shots of women cooking etc.
With our bellies all full we traveled back to the lakehouse where Randy and his family would all drop by so we could see all Brandon's children.
The house still has lots of evidence that construction is still in progress so we had to keep close tabs on the kids. Emma got her head banged on the coffee table but we managed to prevent any major injuries.
This is the 1st time I have see the twins since they started walking and they really enjoyed the extra room I have, running and playing chase with their dad. 
Walker was my buddy for the visit, even if he was a lil skiddish to start with.
This area is where the dining table use to be and I hope to put a round table and 4 chairs there for playing cards, but will be awhile. This sofa will be moved into the xbox room when they finish the crown molding there.
Notice how quickly the men took to the table in its new location.
I thought this was a good picture of Mom and Dad. They were so tired, they missed their nap, but I did get a smile out of them.
The rest of the weekend was spent getting up early and going shopping looking for those hard to find items that I thought I had to have. I really had not planned to go shopping but I just could not help it... something I have always done. I was pooped each night and in bed by 7 or 8 and would wake raring to go at 3, lol.
Saturday, was the IRON BOWL and we worked on our closets until time for the game. Marcia joined us for the game, Greg preferred to watch the game alone in his favorite spot at home. Its a real test for friendship when you get together with friends that are fans of the opponents for the IRON BOWL. Marcia and Greg are Auburn fans and we forgive them on most occasions. My sister Susan and Rando are also Auburn Fans, but we just offer our sympathy and ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!lol. Nothing like friendly ragging on ball game days.
We returned to Mississippi on Sunday and picked up Brooke from her Uncle Tony, since he had picked her up at the airport.
Have I told ya lately its 6 months and 29 days until I retire? See ya soon.
