Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving this year was a blast. We spent it in Chester with the Chester Corys!  The day was spent playing basketball, eating lots of food, putting up lights, walks through the snow, and a movie and apple pie to finish it off.  The pictures tell the rest!

The most traveled day of the year!

All you Thanksgiving travelers, enjoy your flight with all the new TSA inspections going on.  I hope these bumber stickers brighten your day.

Craving to be Close

Our Dog has definitely established himself as one of the family.  He is extremely physically affectionate and where we are, he wants to be.  If we're sitting on the couch, he's right between us.  If I'm working at the desk, he's at my feet.  We love the little guy but REALLY?  These pictures prove my point and show his intrusive nature....

Trying to read.....

 

The ol' snout on the arm trick!  I'm on to you!

Ollie, making it somewhat difficult to see all the words on the page....

 

Paw on keys.....

 

Ok, now if this isn't intrusive, I don't know what is!

 

The ear...

 

As if the ear wasn't enough....

 

Sleeping while I'm trying to finish my dinner....

I was attempting to pop Dave's back until this little guy came along...

Man Toys

So, I was perusing through the aisles at Lowes, looking for a hand truck, when I happened to find the BBQ section.  Dave and I have been without a BBQ and have been borrowing my brother in-law's tiny apartment BBQ that sits on a table for the time being.  Since it was the end of the season, I had to check and see if they had any sales.  There she was, a lonely but beautiful Webber BBQ.....stainless steel......no price.  It had a few scratches on it so I figured it must have been returned.  The associate said it was originally almost $500, but he'd give it to me for $250.  I looked at him, placed my hand on my hip and said, "Can you do any better than that?"  He pulled me aside and in a half whisper said, "If you come back tomorrow, I think I can sell it to you for $150."  Now that's more like it!  Guess who was driving in to Lowes early the next day?  I bought the BBQ and a cover, and managed to haul it home and unload it with my mom's help that day (that in it self what a sight......two ladies trying to lift a BBQ off of a truck).

Dave came home to a surprise that night.  I had steak marinading all day and beer in the fridge.  The video explains the rest.
