Our own Thanksgiving dinner
Ray is a wonderful cook, and that is no exception when he dutch oven cooks a turkey. He cooks the turkey outside in a big oven on legs. He uses charcoal briquettes to heat the oven to about 350°-400° F. He has to start the briquettes in a little contraption that heats the coals together.

Last bit of my old job

Snow falling
There was quite a blizzard outside my home this evening. I saw the snow coming down quite hard, and I wanted to catch the snow falling next to the street light. However, it was quite dark so I was only able to get snow falling right near me. Also, the snow was falling so fast [...]

Kayleigh curled Liz’s hair today. I have rarely seen Lizzie with curly hair. She looks so much like her sister when her hair is curly.
