Hoping everybody's having a happy Thanksgiving. Our little celebration has wound down for the night, and I'm working on about half of the remaining apple pie while nobody else is looking.

Nice picture of your parents, Jan. By any chance, is it an anniversary picture?

John - little Jack looks like he's going to be something of a ham for the camera - and I wonder if this picture maybe belongs between a couple of the pictures already on the fridge . . .



It's the same story here in the Philly region with the Christmas music starting up before Thanksgiving. I really don't mind it, at least not in small bites like in the car between errands and such. But not all day. There are a couple of songs I hope to hear at least once every year (Christmas Wrapping, Step Into Christmas), and there's this other one that just doesn't have a very Christmas-spirit feel about it that I'd rather not.

I feel stuffed! Decided to make this a carb day, so I added gravy and wine to my meal.

We broke a high temp record here today of 87*! If the pool water wasn't 55*, I might have gone swimming.

Up and getting ready to go to the Turkey Rod Run in Daytona!

Have a great time!

Hope everyone had great thanksgiving with friends and family. Warming up here next few days (60's). Time to get out the Christmas lights.

No it was the Sweetheart Banquet at church. I had never seen it until my sister found & posted it on Facebook. It is really a nice pic being the last one likely taken of them before my mother was diagnosed with cancer & deteriorated pretty rapidly after that.


Happy Black Friday. I was sooooooooooooo miserable last night. I thought I had not too badly over-eaten but I guess my body thought otherwise! NO real plan for today but need to decide what I am going to do about decorating as these days off will be my best time for doing it. Have a great day everyone.

I saved these pics for Picture Friday. Last weekend another task we got done was putting up some wall art & pictures saved from my many office relocations over the years on the naked walls of the Rabbit's room. Each piece has a story & I won't bore you with them all but just a few. Th Humpty Dumpty was given to my mother by milk rep (newborn nursery equivalent of a drug rep) when my son was born & she had it framed for his nursery then I took it to my office when he was too old for it. The Canadian goose, Turtle & Frog were my artwork when I was in my 20's)done as gifts to various family members & eventually given back to me. I consider the goose to be the best thing I ever painted.

Computer gave me a "page can't be displayed in the middle of posting so here are the rest of the pics.

So is 50 a good starting point as far as age for this thread?

[RubyCamaro]

Works for me! Welcome aboard.

I put up the tree today and I'm beat. Here are a couple of pics. I'll get better ones tomorrow. Mike is watching a movie & has the lights off.

I put up 90% of our outdoor decorations. The rest are still buried in the closet, but I can put those up pretty quick when I return from Maryland December 7.

It was warm outside once again going up to 84*. I'm out in the garage right now glazing the Chevelle for the cruise tomorrow.

Bought Claire's Christmas gift tonight. She is so difficult to buy presents for, but she finally dropped a concrete clue. I told her not to open any boxes that arrive here next week.

We all - her, me, daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter - piled into my wife's Subaru and went across the river into PA to a place where you get to pick and cut down your own tree. It was a hayride out to where the trees were growing and back, and a fire pit where you could roast marshmallows. Then a little time in the shops while the tree was being brought around and cut square at the base. Chilly and a bit windy, but all in all, it was a neat thing to do. The tree is up, but still pretty bare because nobody has been up in the attic to bring down all the Christmas decorations and wrapping supplies.

Good Morning crew. It is nice & warm here today. We may get the Camaros out for a little stretch of their legs. Not sure what all else. Maybe wash the salt off Poor Pepper. Mike put up the Garage lights but there is a bit of a hitch in their giddy-up. I'll kale pics when he gets them tweaked.

Ir0nM4n, Welcome to the old farts !!

Jan, great mementos you have collected. Also, a fine looking Christmas Tree.

Norm, a recap of the concrete block idea for setting the height of the bar. I told the wife what I was going to do, and she told me I could sleep in the garage. I told here Norm thought it was a good idea. She said that you could sleep in the garage also. LOL

Diane, post some pictures of the Turkey Rod Run when possible.

I got the better half a new piano (gained points). Her first one is over forty years old and she has dreamed of owning a baby grand. She has tolerated my collecting of cars, so it is time for her to get a "hot rod". She still cries every time she plays it. I told her it would pass because I did the same thing every time I drove the ZL1. She didn't think that was to funny (lost points).

Hope everyone has a great safe week-end.

John
