Michael riding a bike, WooHoo!!

I took this video so Fred could see his son riding a bike. It's not the greatest quality but I was so excited for Michael...
 
I've been trying for years to get him to ride a bike but after he wiped out while I was showing him he'd have nothing to do with it. With Dacey's urging and helping him and Trey cheering him on, Michael finally did it!!
 
We decided to get him a new bike for Christmas as his old bike was just too small, way too small. When we got home Sunday we went to Target and there was a red bike that Michael fell in love with and I couldn't say No!! So Merry Christmas Michael, a bit early but it's all yours!!
 
 One very Happy Boy!
 
 
Now we can go for bike rides together, woohoo!!
 
 
 
 
 
 


November 22, Thanksgiving Day...

When I pulled into Dawn's driveway what should I see but a flock of wild turkeys...I wonder if they knew their cousin was in the oven roasting at that moment, lol.
 



 Donna, Dawn's Mom checking out the horses.
 
 
 The first to arrive outside checking out the livestock and animals.
 
 
 Dawn's brother, Jimmy, meeting his newest granddaughter for the first time!
 
 
 Dawn's Dad, George, playing with his great-granddaughter.
 
 
 Dawn's family (two grandchildren were missing).
 
 
 Great Grandma
 
 
 And of course I found a few butterflies...
 
 






And Congratulations to my son!! With help from Dacey and Trey Michael learned how to ride a bike!! I was so PROUD of him!! Way to go Michael!!
 
We had a great time and great food, Thank you Dawn!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


November 21, the drive to San Angelo and Eldorado Texas

We left early last Weds. as we had a 5 hour drive ahead of us...
 
 It started off a bit foggy...
 
 
 Michael took photos of downtown San Antonio while I boot scooted and boogied on Hwy 10 through downtown...
 
 Love coming out of San Antonio on 10 and the start of the Hill Country, so beautiful!
 
 
 Autumn was showing it's colors...
 
 
 I especially like it when the speed limit is 75-80 and you can go...Weee....
 
 
 The colors in the trees kept catching my eye...
 
 
 And of course all across the U.S. I see roads cut out of hills and mountains and it fascinates me. I know they used dynamite and you can see the drilling marks.
 
We went to San Angelo first and checked into our hotel and then headed to Dawn's house in Eldorado...
 
 Michael found the baby goat, he is fascinated by goats and loves the babies!
 
 
 One of Dawn's horses waiting for feed...
 
 
And later we broke out the twister game I got the kids and they had a blast!!
 
Tomorrow was Thanksgiving and Dawn was fix'in to have a houseful...

Happy Thanksgiving

 
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the U.S.A. and I just want to wish everyone a Happy-Thankful day!
 
(one of my favorite photos from our day on the road, Hwy 10 near Kerrville Texas)
 
Michael and I are on a mini-vacation...I'll try to post photos here and there!
We are spending Thanksgiving with my adopted sister, Dawn and her Family. Looking forward to a delicious turkey right out of the oven with some really yummy dressing!
 
Hope y'all have a great rest of your week.

Help!!

 
 
A friend found this in her yard and we aren't sure what it is...Can anyone help us identify it?
 
I know I've seen one before but for the life of me I can not remember what it is...If you can help us we would greatly appreciate it.
 
 
 
 
 


Eastern Meadowlark...

 
They are here in flocks for the winter, spotted this one out in the pasture after the others flew away. Guess he or she is a loner! Not hard to spot them with that bright yellow chest and black bib.
