There are many ways to picture happiness but I would choose the look on Evie's face from this Thanksgiving's celebration to illustrate it. It's hard to know what she's thinking, but in the arms of her loving great grandmother, it can only be good things. . . .

11-24-12 Gladly Would He Teach
I have always liked Chaucer's description of Nicholas, the young scholar who stars in one of the many stories Chaucer tells in his Canterbury Tales. About Nicholas he says: "Gladly would he teach and gladly would he learn."That's a good description of my oldest son, Brian, who in this photo is seen giving his second cousin Ethan a lesson in math and English. And Ethan is clearly a willing learner. . .
11-22-12 The Announcement
It isn't broad public knowledge but I guess I'll say it here: Brian and Katie are expecting their first child, which will be our (Deb and me) first grandchild. It's about time!This photo records the moment after the announcement was made. I wish I had Glenyce (far right) framed better because her reaction of joy is especially obvious. This child will not be Glenyce's first great grandchild but I'm guessing it never gets old.

What am I thankful for during this Thanksgiving season? Family and friends, of course, are most important. But high on my list are the great, baked sweet potatoes my mother-in-law makes.I especially like the "special sauce" that goes in to them.

What can I say? Everything was great!
