Thanksgiving 2011

Hope ya'll had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had our 4th annual Thanksgiving with the Yorks. It's pretty nice having your friends live two doors down from you. Although we could just walk we had to take the car to transport the food. It was sunny and near 70 here on Thanksgiving - a beautiful day! Below are numerous pictures of Jerry & Angela's cats - especially Priscilla since I so seldom can catch her out of her little cave that she likes to hide in.

Cali enjoying some turkey!

Jerry waiting for the football game.

Angela & Melinda enjoying some rounds of Banagrams - Angela's new favorite game! :-)

Happy Thanksgiving from Mark & Melinda!

Preparing for a Winter Crop

This past week the field across from our house was being tilled up and presumably prepared for a winter crop. I'm just hoping that the field won't be completely green with a crop at Christmas-time, which happened one previous year. Just kind of seemed wrong somehow. I can handle no snow but not lush, green, growing vegetation!

Autumn at The City of Light

The City of Light is the name of the campus where I work at INSP. The trees are quite beautiful in the autumn all around the campus so I quickly snapped some pictures one morning last week. The first picture is taken at ground level by the reflection pool and the other two photos are taken from the fourth floor balcony near my desk.

Bikers with Boxes

This is a neat video featuring bikers packing shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. The biker putting his vest on right towards the beginning is the husband of my coworker, Karen. Their bike is also the one where you see a quick glimpse of the face of Christ on a bike. Just thought I'd share.
