World Famous Carthage Christmas Parade

Another fun event.
I don’t know about the World Famous part…but that is how they advertise this parade. It seemed much smaller than the last time we saw it. Jeff and Adele both got lots of candy that were thrown from the floats.
It was a chilly night. Unlike the past two nights here. They are having record warm temps here. It was high seventies today, and will be in the seventies the next few days.
The fur boys want to be outside all the time now that it is warm.
So do we. We will enjoy it while we can, we leave on Monday for the cold northeast for Christmas….burrrr.

Adele and Craigs Garden and Home…

Howdy all,
Jeff, the fur boys and me are settled in Adele and Craig’s driveway where we will be for another month or so. We have been doing some house cleaning….a little shopping….a little gardening….and just hanging out.
The weather has started to cool…no more 70s for a while. It was in the 60s today and it will cool to the 50s later in the week.
I walked around the yard after using the leaf blower for a bit….took these photos….

Happy Holidays to you all……

Thanksgiving In Pinehurst, NC

Howdy,
Jeff and I are in North Carolina visiting my sister and her husband and fur animals….Adele, Jeff and I went out for Thanksgiving lunch at the 1895 Grille at Pinehurst…. Craig was working there and wasn’t able to eat with us…but he came over to the table a few times to say hello.

Since we were going to cook a turkey later in the day we decided to order Fillet, and Striped Bass. Everything was very yummy and we left stuffed Turkeys…..

We had a nice walk around Pinehurst and then home again to cook Mr. tom…..
Jeff made a marinade which he then injected into the turkey. 4 hours later the temperature was finally right and the button popped out….it was kinda dry…but still tastes good.

Jeffy and I did a little black Friday shopping today…got a few bargains.

We had the turkey dinner today…yumm….we had mashed turnip, green beans, baked sweet potato, sausage stuffing from new york, and of course turkey and gravy.

Tomorrow we will go to the Open house at the nursery where Adele works.
Lots of Christmas tree lightings, parades and festivals the next few weeks here….I look forward to going to all the festivities.

that was our delicious Thanksgiving lunch……

Adele and Craigys Garden and Grounds

Howdy all,

We have left North Carolina and are now in NYC. We will be here for a few days visiting with Samarrah.
I did take the video of Adele and Craig’s yard and gardens….It is quite amazing what they have done in the short time they have been living in North Carolina….and considering that the soil is sand.
But with allot of hard work they are making it green and lush.
so check it out.

See some of you soon.
