Random Thanksgiving Pictures

With everyone's crazy schedules, we were only able to spend a couple of hours together. Here are some random shots from that time.

Adam and Tara with Kealen, Tara's son.

The real turkey. This is fried!! It was amazing.

End of the Journey

So we started with whitewater rafting in the Smokey Mountains in North Carolina

Then went tubing

And hiking

Then on to visit family in Indiana

And more family in a different part of Indiana.

Me with all three of my grandchildren

Then Jasmine and I went on to Cincinnati where I had a book signing, met with editors and other writers.

We stayed with a friend I rarely get to see in person.

Then we were off to Chattanooga to Rock City.

And finally after 17 days, 2,508.8 miles, we are home.

For now.

Loving the Beach

Living in the Florida Panhandle, we have a lot of choices of beautiful white sand beaches. I think the beach is our happy place. Here are some different ones we go to that are between 45 minutes and two hours away.

At a state park

What is this I'm wearing???

Gigi's phone looks a lot more interesting than my rattle. And it's playing music for me.

What's your happy place?
