We’ve got a few leftover pictures from the last days of October in this month’s gallery. There’s a picture of Mom and Dad at the DC Dancing Stars Gala on October 25th, along with a few Halloween pictures.
On November 1st, we went to the Homecoming at JMU, of which both Mom and Dad are alumni. Pop-Pop’s two brothers and their wives made a short visit on November 7th. They were only here for two days but our recycle bins got filled up with more empty beer cans than we’ve ever seen. Mom has a rule that only bottled beer is allowed on the premises, but had to make an exception during their visit.
Dad went trout fishing again this month. It was really cold that day, but he did catch some trout and had a good time doing it.
We all continued Ross’s search for a higher education entity that meets his stringent requirements. This time we did a tour of Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) in Richmond, VA.
And last, but certainly not least, we had a great Thanksgiving dinner this year. We had two turkeys: one roasted and one fried in Dad’s brand new Electric Turkey Fryer.
