Kind of a Blur


This pretty much sums it up for Thanksgiving 2012.

Lively.
Lots of family.
Lots of good food and people stayed late.

We harvested some more olives on the weekend. We tore apart the house looking for the two boxes of pickling salt that we both saw on the counter, and knew we had, and are absolutely convinced are staring us right in the face.

And then we gave up and went to the store and bought more.

The girls hung out together most of the weekend. This was their first meet up.


  • Sammy showed Roxie precisely where to stand to get any leftovers from the chopping block that might fall a dog's way.
  • Roxie showed Sammy about how fast people move when they cross the road to the neighbor's farm. Bad, bad idea, city dog.
  • Sammy taught Roxie how to run up and down the stairs and make a grand finish by jumping the last couple of stairs.
  • Roxie taught Sammy about how to toss a golfball.
  • Sammy taught Roxie the joys of sofa and bed sitting.
The rest was kind of a blur.
