Party under the big top! Partitioned by masks, plexiglass, and a time zone:)

We’re not traditionally with Lola and Tito on Thanksgiving, so it was nice to share the holiday (and food) with them this year!

Yes! Meryl and I raced to deliver Baba’s stuffing to Grandpa just before our Lawer family Zoom, and when we arrived home I couldn’t resist agreeing to run to the view spot with her for a Thanksgiving sunset glimpse:)

Frank outdid himself and we ate at the dining room table! (Baba’s table with Baba’s stuffing!) We so miss having dinner parties, so here’s to more meals at the dining room table!

Pre-school dance party before heading to preschool!

Every parent needs an extendable fork. Food becomes instantaneously delicious when in use. Use wisely!

Seriously, boxes are infinitely entertaining.

Meryl’s blog footnote: “I’m doing Cosmic Yoga and Lummi is all stretched out.”

It’s been a Sunday! Our old garage freezer that came with the house (40-50 years old?) went kaput today after Frank so diligently pounded out the frost buildup to make space for our quarter of a cow that we picked up yesterday. It’s the season for protein as we also recently picked up our half of a pig and have enough seafood to get us to next summer in our ‘other’ garage freezer. What to do? Call neighbors, of course! And thankfully, we were able to track down a new freezer currently on a truck to Seattle as the pandemic has significantly impacted appliance supplies and manufacturing. Phew! We needed frosting tonight:)
Meryl’s blog footnote: “I’m decorating a cookie with Dad and Lummi is trying to eat it.”

Grandpa coined the name long ago for this stuffy, and it stuck.

…And all of Meryl’s babies, who are sometimes the same age, and sometimes not:)
