Magnificent Thanksgiving

 Walker brought over old movies from  our early married life before we had children and when  Catherine Bradley was first born. He added music. There were lots of Joe and Louise too. And also Marty and especially Berkeley when she was a baby.  The best part of this episode was when Marty was dancing,,

We had a great dinner. Rick worked very hard to make it perfect. Another  plus  is David and Bradley came. They enjoyed the movies. We talked to David at dinner and he was very grown up. He talked a lot about Robotics Club. He is now the president. The only disappointment was Eliza did not come. 

Tucker, Bess and Joseph all slept her the night before. later today we go to the Paramount to see The NutCracker. Bess will dance. 

We were outside and inside. The kids played basket ball. Walker and kids, Bradley and David ran in the Turkey Trot. Some wore the shirts they were given.we went to Ivy School and watched Flag football.

At Violin recital I am sitting in the third row

 Thee teacher is checking to see if the students violins are in tune. She does this by playing a few bars.

The kids are downstairs. There are people in the audience. Walker went to Wegmans. Hallie is at the practice for The Nutcracker Suite. The pianist is getting ready. The kids all have buttons on their shirts or pants. It is 2:15.there is a turkey on the piano. The teacher has a long flowing sweater on. We went to church. Josh gave the sermon. I did not understand the second part. I should read the parable again. Someone has to sign in. Could you count 1 to 5? I’m not really

Home from the OutterBanks

We had an eventful four days and night.

We began by driving a new way to North Carolina. We stopped in Elizabeth City for lunch. On the way we drove past many Peanut and Cotton farms, all small. Coinsidentally I am reading about Jimmy Carter who grew up on a peanut far, they also grew cotton. His father was a tough business man who made everyone work when they were not in school. It sounds like his relatives raised him since his mother worked as a nurse in the local hospital. He had two sibling girls and later a brother Billy who got him in trouble when her was in.president. 

Our fist hotel was in Sabderling, white large but close to the beach. We walked on the beach the next day and met some girls. One went to UVA and she took our picture. We also stopped and looked at the Inland passage. We saw a sailboat coming toward us and took a picture. We wanted to see more but the road was closed. It was cold in Sanderling but I did write in Story-worth. I wonder what Rick was doing. 

It is better if I write right away because I forget. Today my grandchildren are coming. We are going to do an art project. I collected shells but decided they should add a picture and it should be a gift to someone

I learned how to make Madge podge. It is water an Elmer’s glue. We are going to use it today. Rick was reading Virginia Week.ey. 

 

Talking aboutMontague Miller

 Catherine Bradley is upstairs talking to Rick.

She talked to both of us here in the family room. She has become very invested in Real Estate but has not sold any properties yet. I am not the best person to talk to but Rick is because he represented the local lawyers for a long time and knows many sales people.

I was writing my entry for my writing class. I am tryin to clean up my different rooms. I worked on two albums this morning. When I first woke up I watched the news and ate cereal with bananas. I watched a show about the new kicker for UVA.  He is thirty four years old. He was a helicopter Pilate. He started a Uva but had to inlist in the military. I also read my book about writing non fiction. I read about grammar and sentences. Every sentence has to have a noun and a verb. Punctuation is extremely important because it helps with meaning, when to stop, when to explain.

My daughter just left. She was rubbing her hands. She said she was cold.
