A little catching up to do - I haven't posted in almost a month! Going backwards, starting with last Saturday morning.
Last Saturday morning - 7:30am - the view from my front door. A blue morning in a winter wonderland. We are not accustomed to snow in Georgia. I can't think of the last time it snowed. It was glorious while it lasted.
It was already melting in the afternoon, once the temps rose. Snowmen were everywhere, but my favorite was this little one on the table in front of
Five Guys.
Not to worry - I was sitting completely still when I snapped this photo on Friday afternoon, during the harrowing ride home. Georgians don't know how to drive on snow, y'all. It took me two hours to go 20 miles, but it was lovely to get a fire going and have a little sofa nap later. AND to wake up to that blue morning the next day.
Thanksgiving Day was spent in Fayetteville, Georgia at my cousin's house and the extended family. Because my immediate family was coming together from Atlanta, Virginia, Florida and Mexico, we stayed at a hotel the night before. I didn't realize how starved I was for family time until we were all together. Favorite moment: a smiling older couple from Detroit, Michigan were also staying at the hotel and just before they got on the elevator to go up to their room, they spontaneously jitterbugged for several seconds. We applauded. It was that kind of fun night.
My cousin's home has lots of space, indoors and out, for the 40+ family gathered together in Thanksgiving. We convoyed to my sister and brother-in-law's farm in northern Florida on Thanksgiving afternoon.
Thanksgiving crafts by two great-nieces on Friday morning.
And all the little ones got a tractor ride on Saturday, before everyone drove away. A lovely few days.
Next week - holiday magic.
