Winter is Here

It's pretty cold out so Stella wore her ski jacket while watching Larry the Anhinga next door.

 Stella & Google love bundling up!

Thanksgiving

Mary checks the internal temp on her beautiful turkey.

Yum!

 

Delicious dinner!

Mary (jelly roll cake), Sarah (pecan pie) & Barbara (pumpkin pie).

My mantra has always been, if there's no chocolate, it's not dessert (but I did have a piece of yummy jelly roll cake).

Besties Afternoon Relaxation

Stella & Google ... relaxing in the family room at 2:04pm ...

 

... followed by relaxing in the bedroom at 2:34pm.

 Afternoon view towards neighbor's backyard.

 

Pressure Cleaning

I had the driveway & pavers pressure cleaned today. This used to be my favorite household chore. I might have to get a new pressure cleaner & get back into it.

Shady Time before Sunset

Stella loves relaxing in the shade as the sun goes down.

Backyard Sunset

Nice evening sky in our backyard tonight.

China Town Dinner

Adam & Hank heading to dinner at China Town with Wendy, Andy & me.

Detroit Style Pizza & a Treat

Helaine & I went to Death By Pizza for lunch today in Delray Beach. Their Detroit Style pizza is so AMAZING! General Tso's Beef was the special this week. It was delicious, as was The Enemy.

Sometimes Stella saves her treat for later.

Lucille's Bad to the Bone

Lucille's Bad to the Bone for dinner with Andy, Helaine, Hank, Adam & Wendy.

Giant Tree Trimming & Yellow House Event

Mary had some branches trimmed from a giant tree that hangs over her front yard.

I went to a private event with Mary's Mayo team at Yellow House this afternoon. One of the rooms was decorated with great Letterpress art by Amos Paul Kennedy.

We had to trace our hand & use rubber stamps. I wrote in shadow printing & drew a pup.

Mary's Backsplash Install

Google was so happy when David got to his house to install the backsplash today.

 

 Shooting in pano mode makes the counter look curved.

Big Tree

Barbara had a big dead tree removed at her house today.

 The crew posed for a nice pic.

Mary's Appliance Install

Barry installed Mary's new appliances today. Google helped!

Mary's Countertop Install

The guys from Sal's Marble came to install Mary's cast iron sink & quartz countertop today.

John's Birthday Lunch (a week late)

Lunch with John & Sherry at 1810 Tacos 

Heading Home After Hurricane Milton

Stella had an exhausting trip ... or maybe she's just extra comfy in the Embassy.

Everyone wants some barbecue!

 

Barbara got to ride in the back with the pups for the first leg of the trip home. She's sooooo lucky!

 

 

Sleepyheads!

Hiking & Northern Lights

Midday hike

We got to experience the Northern Lights tonight!

Mary won the monthly Embassy Explorations photo contest with this photo:

Great Georgia Weather

It was a beautiful day at Don Carter State Park!

Mary, Barbara & I took the pups for their morning walk.

As soon as we got back, Stella & Google checked out the back deck. They love our cabin!

Everyone wanted to pose for pix on the dock.

The American Beautyberry was in great light outside the park welcome center.

Mary & 3 scarecrows

Google is such a happy pup!

Mary shot a selfie with Google.

I shot a group selfie with Stella, Google, Mary & Barbara.

Besties!!!

Selfies with Stella

Everyone was so relaxed.
