Celebrating

Nitha and her aunt A. attended nursing school together.  They took their NCLEX at different times, but both passed, so this past Sabbath the extended family got together and celebrated their achievement, as well as had a Thanksgiving meal together. Aunt A did the arranging and cooked all the food for everyone. She had a local bakery make a cupcake cake with a picture of her and Nitha on the top. Unfortunately i didn't think of taking a picture of them together with their cake...!

Pictures in no particular order:

Aunt A. cutting the turkey for those that eat the real thing

Sisterly love

Cousin friends

The picture of elation

Chicken and turkey sharing a plate

Just some of the awesome food Aunt A. prepared

Just chilllin'

Thanksgiving~Our Style (this year)

Since it seems that between school and work our family will not be eating meals at the same time or in the same place this week, i chose the day that the majority of us were home, and made our Thanksgiving meal. The rest of the family will get the left overs...
The meal usually consists of a favorite from each person~not necessarily the 'traditional' Thanksgiving fare.

We do have much to be grateful for!!

Thanksgiving Day

Spent watching Tom and Jerry Episodes This is the entertainment and education for today under the pretense of truly studying.  See the books and computer...?  Hoping to be discharged later today...!

   

Our Thanksgiving is a little unusual this year. We plan to really celebrate another day...

So glad to have my camera back! Such a beauty to watch the monarchs traveling thru!

Morning Thoughts

This morning I was rushing around getting ready to come spend the day at the hospital with my son while he gets chemo pumped into his veins.  I saw this and grabbed my camera:

Just a pretty sunrise

I am grateful for a new day.

Another First

Nitha on the first day of work having to wear her uniform.  Four days into orientation, and she is liking her position.

What Is It???

When I first saw this sitting on the table I thought it was a type of cantaloupe . It was too big to be a..grapefruit!? It made one tall glass of juice. Usually it takes four grapefruits to make that much juice! And yes...there was a lot of seeds and fiber. It was not very sweet either, but then it really is not quite the season yet. They need a couple of cold spells just below freezing to be sweet..
