Saturday After Thanksgiving

Jim cuts up turkey I baked Friday night.

It was very good. We ate after returning from some

afternoon adventures.

The Kuhls were here. We slept in and hung out at the

breakfast table a little longer than usual.

Mckinley enjoys her pancakes, but insists on a napkin

for her sticky fingers from the syrup.

Jackson poses for Grandma with that sweet smile.

Lexi and Sunny hangout hoping Jim will give up some

turkey.

Mckinley didn't sleep to well Friday night (that means

Sara & Travis didn't either) so after they went through a

couple of our empty rentals and joined the K&N Patriots

for awhile Mckinley crashed in the car, then took a nap in

the office before heading back to Kansas.  I'm sure Sara

& Travis would have liked to join her.

Doesn't she look just like Sara?

A Tea Party Protest - Family & Friend Style

Sara, Travis & Mckinley stayed in the background
but watched with interest and read lots of the signs.

Jackson and my friend, Nancy protest. Jackson

waves an American flag. Jim is in arms reach of

Jackson, on the right.

Nancy and Judy, sisters and now fellow protestors.

Nancy and Jackson again.

You can see our banner "K&N Patriots"

There were about 80 protestors there today and

4 counters protestors across the street.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. We wish you a wonderful day.

John was the main cook today. Thank you.
The 3 Sassmann kids + Jim, John, Seth, Logan & Harrison. Hailey, Sara, Travis, Jackson, McKinley, Allison, Geoff, Lanie & Larry are missing.

Mark came up to hang with the Seth. Mark saw Seth wrestle earlier this week.

Logan made a turkey at school. It is very cute.

This is the turkey John made - yummmmy!

This is my first pumpkin pie of the season. It was really good!

My New Nephew

Meet Harrison, my new nephew:) Logan is checking out his new little brother.
Seth is now living with Beth and John. Hailey is the oldest. Nothing like having your kids double in 2 days.

Cardinals Playoff Game

Jim has always wanted to attend a Cardinals world series game. So this year the Cardinals were on their way with winning their area division. Unfortunately, they lost the first three games of the overall division and were out. There is always next year!

Bird Houses and Hummingbirds

This is a gourd bird house at Ray and Carol's. Ray grew the gourd

I noticed this bird house on the garage on a rental in Owensville.

I was able to get this shot of a hummingbird eating out of our feeder.

This red throated hummingbird posed nicely for me to get his picture several times.
