No Thanks-taking But Thanksgiving


Jeff and Shagnasty playing with their luck as they wait for the grub to begin. It was warmer than people had thought it was going to be. The weather forecast had called for cold winds and a drop in temperature but we were all dressed light.

Some folks got there on their bikes and why not, it was such a nice day.

Taking polaroid pictures with Andy's camera was fun.

Jena cooking all day taking a smoke break while the guys play outside getting drunker.


Caitlin helping with the mashing of the potatoes.

Andy throws a horseshoe as Jeff waits his turn.


Jena's brother, sorry but forgot his name.

Smile.

Drinking too early and not eating can have some effects.


Window with wind chimes. Some peeps can't leave home for too long...

Jena and David getting the food ready for consumption.

Want to thank Andy and Jena for having all of us over and feeding us a great meal. It's good to feel like you have a family away from home. And in many ways, it's a little bit nicer because no one ends up crying or screaming or fighting or all of the above but we'll keep that between us. ;)

Now it's time to finish packing and get ready for our move, very exciting. Much love to everyone, take care and we'll see you next month...

The day started at around noon after waking up on a friend's sofa. The heat of winter was very sticky and muggy but the day look great. So after a nice bike ride home to eat and shower it was back on the street for more picture taking.

 The rest of the night is a blur just like the photos.

A pounding headache will not stop us from doing it again, so it wont be the last time. Working on moving and painting but moving kind of sluggish lately. Having a little bit of trouble painting too. Let's hope the move helps with artist block. Who wants to come to the house warming party?

Art, Mini Ramp, And Burning Rice



Josh about to drop in with a old school board while Fletch skates in the background.

 On a warm November day four people skated a mini ramp at some unknown location. It was such a blast, pushing each other, learning new tricks, and hanging out with great friends. This is the life. It's ok to hate but it's not going to change anything. Can't wait to go back, hang out, and skate some more. It's so much fun that we didn't take that many pictures but next time maybe we'll take more.


 Thank you Josh for letting us skate the mini.
