December to Remember

White Christmas 2009

More pictures from the blizzard of 09 in Manassas

Visions of sugar plums danced through their heads.......including the furry one!

Like loaves of bread, their side mirrors are the only indication of what lies beneath.

the computer mouse at Mance grew hungry in the cold and met it's demise at Victor!

BLIZZARD..........12-19-08

After 10 hrs at the ER, the chilled wine,"thru white and drifted snow", takes the edge off the day.

A VERY NEW ENGLAND THANKSGIVING..........2009

OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS............to Laura's (and Lindsay, Sophie, Charlie, Guiness, Puck, Trinket, and Whiskers)
...house we went!

A memorable Downeast New England feast (for the beasts) in MAINE.

A pensive Suzanne enjoys Kennebunk beach in rapidly deteoriating weather.........but with a warm heart.

Sophies's drawing "EAT MEAT or DIE" gets a forlorn "oink" from Friday's bacon provider

It began with a "fresh off the boat" lobster boil on Wednesday night....rolled on through the traditional turkey roast on Thursday, and continued with a BACON bake breakfast on Friday morning.

Turkey soup trappings and Mystic pizza on Friday night wrapped it all up as a Thanksgiving for the ages.

A slight shift was noted in this long standing affair. The young cousins are rapidly infilltrating the adult table...

and the four Snyders are lapsing into the "age old" (or is it old age?) tradition of discussing medical maladies

Alas...........nothing stays the same.

George models his "Becket" hat knitted by Suzanne....it gets cold in the Berkshires!
