Ah, there is nothing like an afternoon of activities followed by a good meal and some late night television to put you in a restful mood. But then, I get ahead of the story.
After arriving in Sullivan on Thanksgiving afternoon, I changed to running attire and headed for a loop around the cemetery (greetings to Wally, Dad, and the grandparents) and on to Jean and Dan's, where I met mom and spent time with Molly. 
Then back to Mom's for appetizers and a liquid refreshment. Beavis, naturally, had to join us and actually enjoyed the appetizer (of course, it was shrimp!).

Steak, twice-baked potatoes, asparagus and wine for the Thanksgiving feast. Later in the evening it was time for pumpkin pie with REAL whipped cream. Yummy!
Friday we slept in until past 8 am, took our time over breakfast, visited with a former high school classmate and "walking to school" partner (Jean Gambill). Then off on the day's chores - visit with Molly, visit with Summers, balancing check books, and what have you. Dinner at the Melody followed by a movie (see first photo above for the results).
Saturday morning we slept in even later (I guess two nights in a row of post-midnight bedtime took their toll). Lingered over breakfast, visited Molly and then off to the BIG GAME. As you can see, the entire available family was in attendance. Nathan's team was victorious - 30 to 15. We sat behind the opposing team's bench. The coach was AMAZING - and I laughed so hard tears came. "Keep your butt in their gut" he admonished the players!
After that level of excitement, it was time to load up and head back to Findlay. The traffic was steady (more than usual) even though I traveled the secondary roads. I can only imgine what the interstate had in store for travelers. When I arrived home it was time for th
e furry ones to spend a short time outside, unloaded the vehicle, unpacked, and then relaxed in front of the fire place along with Buddy and the others.

This morning I awoke with true thankfulness - that I had driven back yesterday and did not wait for today. My throat was sore, my head hurt, the sniffles have arrived, and also SNOW!
Welcome to Winter!
