Sisters---from left: Joanne, Me, Ramey
Sister Ramey came up with this photo taken several years ago when Joanne was still with us. Vann was still with us too; I know because I remember one of the cousins saying he was cute. So it had to be pre-2009.
Two of our cousins were visiting from out of state, and they wanted to take a trip up to the land where my grandparents lived when we were all children. I think the family still owned the land at the time (we don't any more). I don't think we would have been trespassing. There's a photo somewhere that includes the cousins, but I can't find it on the my computer and I'm not up to going through boxes and albums right now. I'm still not even recovered from two days of cooking and two days of eating.
I did some work on Ramey's Christmas present yesterday. I'm making 6-inch Friendship Star blocks for a border.
Since some time in early October (or maybe late September) I've been making my way though all the episodes of "The X-Files." I had forgotten that there are so many episodes, more than 200 in all 11 seasons. I'm almost through Season 8, and I'm beginning to see why the series was cancelled.
1) Agent Scully is pregnant. Details of how she got that way are a bit sketchy, but I expect it will become clear later. Either Mulder or an alien is responsible, I think. Writers had to write her pregnancy into the storyline since Gillian Anderson, the star who played Scully, was truly pregnant.
2) The storyline has become increasingly confusing, at least to me, since the Cigarette Smoking Man (well, I won't say. Somebody reading this might want to watch for the first time, so no spoilers.)
3) I know from having watched the series when it was airing on FOX that Scully and Mulder are seen less and less until the characters are more or less a back story. They should have given Doggett and Reyes their own series.
Thanksgiving dinner was quite a treat. Although it was sort of a last-minute thing, we managed to gather a table full: Jesse, Andy, Pat, and India (and me) enjoyed the feast then had a good gab session later. After Ramey and India left, Andy and I watched a movie.
Gotta go. I have to pick up a library book that's being held for me: Heaven's Keep by William Kent Krueger. It's the December selection for my book club. It's a murder mystery,, so I think I'll like it.

Oh, I hear you on the exhaustion from cooking and celebrating Thanksgiving! It's taken us days to recover, too, and am not sure we're there yet. I'm glad your Thanksgiving was delightful!
Great photo of you and your sisters, but I had to click on the link as that picture didn't show up. In fact, maybe it's my old computer, but none of the photos on your previous blog posts appear either. This photos were all in place a few days ago. Odd.
I never got into X Files and DH quit watching it when the plots became disjointed.
Wishing your joy and wonder in the weeks ahead!
Hugs!
