Happy Thanksgiving

On Thanksgiving morning we all went walking along Summit Drive along the Mississippi River.  It was mid fifties in the morning and the scenery was beautiful.  By evening the temperature had dropped thirty degrees and it began snowing. 

Lisa and Colin

There was a family reunion last weekend.  Because of the triathlon, we did not get to the Burget reunion in Altoona.  Instead we had our own little Grandstaff reunion at my mom's house.  Jacci took these great photos of Lisa and Colin with her iPhone.

Photos #29 & #30/365: Belated Birthday Celebration

Lisa and Colin were here for the weekend. They drove down from Minneapolis to prepare a birthday dinner for me. Lisa was in Phoenix running the Rock and Roll Marathon on my actual birthday, so they decided to celebrate my birthday with me this weekend. They prepared a great Mexico dinner, we hung out and watched movies. It was a great weekend.




We are all big fans of coffee shops (even though I don't really drink coffee) so before they got on the road this morning, we spent some time at Smokey Row. It was a great backdrop for some family photos.

Photo #330: At the Movies

It's been a very pleasant day after Thanksgiving. Lisa and Colin arrived Thanksgiving Day. Today we spent some time hanging out at Smokey Row, I made Seafood Chowder for dinner, and we went to see the latest Harry Potter movie, The Deathly Hallows, Part 1. I don't go to the movies very often, but I'm a big Harry Potter fan. The movie was good, but I feel like I need to reread the book again, in order to keep everything straight.

Lisa and Colin were in town this weekend. They cooked dinner for my Mom and I. Afterwards we went to Java Joe's for a while, to listen to music. We had a great visit, but it had to be short, because Colin is due back at work this afternoon. I snapped this photo before they left for Minneapolis.
