I am backing up a bit since my writing time has been limited this month so please be patient. The first weekend of the month was my baby sister's birthday. I know that some of you will find a great deal of humor in that sentence as a normal 60 year old woman doesn't usually refer to her younger sister as her "baby sister", but I do, I did, and I will. I am not normal. Sis and I were escorted to the "Fox" by her oldest son and a friend after a delightful dinner at Brio's where we were treated to an outstanding meal, great service, lots of fun and laughter.
The "Fox' is unique, beautiful, awe inspiring and down right fun! It takes to back to an era of glamour and richness no longer found among the great building of Atlanta. The Fox just IS! We were treated to a wonderful romantic comedy "Mama Mia!" which we thoroughly enjoyed. The cast gave a great performance and the music was outstanding.
The middle of the month was the quarterly Harmon family get together. We met at Southern Pit Barbecue and since our group was so large they had to split us up - they don't do reservations - so all of us didn't get to visit but I so enjoyed the time spent with those of us that were able to sit together. Next time we will make sure we get a space that can handle all us youngun's. I met cousins I had not as yet met and enjoyed the visit with cousins I hadn't seen in a while. Can't wait until February when hopefully more will join the group. Would love to see the Louisiana cousin and the Minnesota cousin.
Hubby and I are lucky enough to host Thanksgiving for the families. It is such a treat for us to have everyone together at our home and enjoy all the great food they bring to share. Dad even had a good visit with everyone for a while before getting tired and heading home. Didn't get all of us in one picture this year, but we did manage to get a pic of everyone during the day. Lot's of good food and many laughs throughout the day!
The Dahlonega kids come in for Thanksgiving usually spend a few extra days with me. It is a pleasant week for everyone. My oldest grandchildren are growing so fast that I am afraid they will soon not fit on my lap.
During the afternoon and early evening everyone got their game plans finalized and were soon off to early Black Friday shopping at 9:00 pm. The deals were astounding and they all were ready to spend to save. The different groups kept us apprised of their progress and I think everyone got pretty much everything they aimed for, mainly electronics and bicycles. Then spent hours standing in line before getting home in the early dawn hours.
I have spent the last few days recovering from a wonderfully full week and weekend and getting ready to head into the Christmas season. This week I felt the first twinges that I always feel when Christmas nears. Time to get the decorations out and get started.
I hope all my reader friends enjoyed the day of Thanksgiving as much as I did. Until next time . . .
Happy reading!
Belle
