Who needs Black Friday??

We were a bit to busy 'round these parts to deal with that nonsense.

Lots of gaming was goin' on here, and we couldn't be bothered by retail craziness or the crazies that partook in it.

I'm telling ya, it was serious stuff...

It was intense...

 It was even downright nail biting at times (or something)....

But I'll take it.  It's the best bargain out there in my opinion.

Whoohoo!!!! Straight in from the Lone Star State to celebrate Turkey (.. or in our case, Steak) Day with us:  Grammy and Grandpa.  

We are especially greatful when we are able to share holidays with our extended family.  A rare treat, for sure.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

Holding on to the last bits of fall...

106-107/365

First meet of the season.

Pep talk by one of her coaches...

 (she's the shorty...)

Working the bars...

 Encouraging words after vault...

 Waiting (oh, the waiting) for floor..

Warming up on beam...

And on the podium for First Place on Beam!

They are the few that are hanging on to the trees, fending off the wind storms and cool fronts as if to shout, "Fall ain't over yet people!"  So even if Starbucks has moved over to Peppermint Mochas; commercials, radio stations, department stores and even my neighbor have been all about Christmas lights and decorations for the past week or so,  today I stopped and admired this autumnal beauty because, after all, it's NOVEMBER and it's still Fall y'all.

Imparting wisdom (yeah, that's it) to his grandson, all the while being photobombed by his granddaughter...
