Mama's Losin' It

This week I thought it would be nice to take part in Mama Kat's Writer's Workshop. With writer's prompts, I decided to just show you in pictures my response to #2.) Share a photo of what Thanksgiving looks like in your neck of the woods.
 
Oh, yeah.  These are pictures from last Thanksgiving at my house.


What?!  It could happen.

Really.  It could.  Especially if you picture the boy in stripes is not laughing but burping.  Yep.  That's my house.

  1. That's funny. Those old Norman Rockwell pictures are very cute, but I think quite different from most people's lives these days.
    Happy Thanksgiving!

  3. I always wonder what planet Rockwell was living on.

Christmas Gifts

Jill is the slice of home baked pie you long for. Her dad was a farmer. His dad was a farmer. On a hot summer day Jill would call me up to go floating down the canal or ride the slick rocks with the stream into a barely thawed pool of water. She's also the girl I called one day when I was bored and offered to drive two hours and try out this new thing called "Bungee Jumping." We did although I can't remember why . The first year after my college graduation I found myself particularly low on pride.  First of all, I was a college graduate working as a sales clerk.  Too late I discovered that a bachelors degree in sociology is equal to a high school diploma and, in some cases, a G.E.D. and got you hired at JC Penney trying to upsale with a colorful scarf.  On top of it, I'd been dumped.  It wasn't that he was the love of my life.  In fact, it was quite the opposite.  He started planning the wedding aloud and I freaked out, pointing out that we'd only bee...

But clearly Jene Marie was their crowning glory. Do I hate for taking all the love from my parents and hogging it for herself? Of course not. She's my sister. She's my baby sister. But if I happen to feel the need to speak to her when she's at work, I always ask for her by using both names; Jene Marie (with the schwa). I don't want her...
