Happy 22nd Anniversary to Mom and Dad, Happy 39th Anniversary1 to Brian and Rosemary, Happy Birthday to Chris & Julia!

Supermoon, November 2016Owen started his “College Tour” this month.  His first stop on the tour was JMU, which just happens to be Mom and Dad’s Alma Mater.  JMU is in Harrisonburg, VA, whch just happens to be the home of Mossy Creek Fly Fishing too.  Dad and Owen took this opportunity to hire a guide and do some trout fishing after the JMU tour was over.  Mom went shopping.

Ross experienced two once in a lifetime events this month:

Mom and Dad made a trip to Morgantown, WV to pick up Ross for Thanksgiving break with the intent of going to the WVU – Oklahoma football game and returning the next day.  Unfortunately, the weather at Keysers Ridge was starting to turn nasty, so this became a same day round-trip.  Just as well as the weather in Morgantown was also cold and snowy…and the Mountaineers lost 56-28.

We had a great Thanksgiving with, as usual, way too much food.  Dad fried a turkey.  Mom’s BFF Alicia and her family joined us for dinner.  They brought a traditional roast turkey.  Needless to say, we had an ample supply of gobbler meat this year.

This month’s pictures includes some stragglers from Halloween that didn’t make it into the previous edition.  We’ve also included a picture of our newest cousin Bryce, who was born on October 28th.

1Uncle Brian and Aunt Rosemary actually celebrated their 39th wedding Anniversary on October 29th.  This should have been in last month’s news but our fact-checker (aka Pop-Pop) messed up. 


See you next month...

Happy Birthday Mom

October 2016Mom really likes this time of year and always decorates the house and yard with stuff that has an “Autumnal” theme, which of course includes lots of Halloween decorations.
