Nov 2024 - Here are some of my favorite Indy Fall pics.
I've been cutting down my zinnias before the cold gets them
love them

Nov 22-29, 2024 - We headed to Deb's for the week before Thanksgiving and will then head to Aunt Gerry's and Uncle Gene's for a few days after Thanksgiving. Then we're off to Texas to visit my oldest and dearest friend Cathy and her husband Rene at their new home in Marble Falls.
I found this happy little face on the ground...a cracked acorn!
Tiny in front of the shabin, with a pretty sunset
Chuck and Kevin shooting skeet
I forgot my puff and had to buy a new one to get me through these cold next few weeks!
Another pretty sunset
The Thanksgiving gang, and a few pies
Kev and Aunt Carol are having a good time
Nov 30 - Dec 3, 2024 - It's only a 2.5 hour drive from Deb's to AG/UG's house in Springfield, MO. We left in a snowstorm, but by the time we got to springfield it was clear and warmer. After catching up Saturday night, we packed up and headed to their lake house at Table Rock. Silver Dollar City has one of the best light shows in the country, so we decided to check it out Sunday night.

My favorite selfie buddy
We're always happy to be reunited with our favorite travel partners
lots of lights
have you been naughty or nice???
I had to get a pic of Elaine's grape arbor!
We haven't ever been to Table Rock in the winter, it's a different view from the deck than I'm used to.
pretty, but foggy views
We had to wait a half an hour to get into Billy Gail's for brunch, but it was worth it. Kev had to get the 14 inch pancake!
I was happy with my French toast, yum!
Sadly, Kev was defeated by the 14 inch pancake, and I couldn't pass up taking his pick in front of the "Leftovers are for Quitters" sign
Dec 3 - 6, 2024 - We left AG/UGs on Monday afternoon, drove 10 hours to a Cracker Barrel in Allen, TX (just north of Texas) for the night then drove 5.5 hours to Cathy's. Cathy and Rene have been playing poker in Burnet at the Trailblazer Grill. We got there in time, that Kevin could join them.
Burnet was all decorated for Christmas
Merry Christmas!
Cute downtown Burnet and a nice bench in front of the Barber shop
After dinner we did the light show in downtown Marble Falls
A true Texas light show!
Cathy and Leila
Wednesday afternoon we drove to Inks Lake State Park for a walk
Thursday Rene smoked ribs in his new Franklin smoker
the infamous Franklin smoker
The ribs...yum!
Sunset overlooking Marble Falls, from the balcony
Thanks for a great time Cathy and Rene!
