Oh yeah!
The official turkey cutter in action. Note the sleeves rolled up for the job.
The kids are ready!
After dinner Papa Ron, Mason, and I went out to the shop to look at cars and listen to the juke box. Mason has a number of favorite songs on Papa Ron's juke box - Who Put the Bomp, Runaround Sue, Rock Around the Clock...the kid likes his oldies!
Turns out Mason also likes to open up the hood of the tractor.
And smell the gasoline.
He also demonstrated skills in filling the go-cart tires up with air.
Papa Ron has made some good progress in filling out the family tree on my mom's side of the family, going back to the 1300's on both of her parent's sides of the family. I was excited to see that we were relatives of the Griswold's!
On Friday the kids and I went to see Tangled, which turned out to be a good movie for all of us! We ate popcorn and candy.Saturday night I had dinner with my good friends Sarah and Laura (aka Bacon and Lettuce). The sandwich is growing with kids getting added to the mix over the years. It's always good to see them.
In a bit of sad news this week, my friend Jill from grade school passed away after battling cancer for the last 7 years. I had known Jill since kindergarten. Her mom was one of our Brownie leaders. We were part of the same group of friends all through grade school where we had countless slumber parties and played at each other's houses.
Jill and I got to be especially close in 6th grade after she had been "dumped" by the so proclaimed popular kids. I suppose I was the next tier down from that group (I never worried much about such things) and she turned to me a bit at that time for friendship. She was so funny and so much fun to be around that I was more than happy to hang around with her more and we became close friends during that year.
During junior high and high school we drifted apart a bit and went in some different circles of friends. I will always consider her a friend and grateful to have known her.
