Santa Junkies

Our Saturday night was filled with Santas! We are up north with the Raterinks for the long holiday weekend, and both Pentwater and Silver Lake had festivities with Santa. We thought why not take part in both celebrations.
We bundled up and started in Pentwater after an early tasty dinner at the Brown Bear. We then were first in line to get a carraige ride through the beautifully lit downtown streets of Pentwater. That was an unexpected treat.






No horse-drawn carriages in Silver Lake, but they've got dune buggies and Santa.



As we left Jon said to Brighton, "Say, see you next weekend Santa."

Too fun...we just might be Santa Junkies.

Ho Ho Ho

Happy Thanksgiving!




In years gone by, during Thanksgiving celebrations, we went around the table sharing our gratitude and blessings.  This is a tradition we have stopped.   Yes, we are abundantly grateful, but we are all just too emotional and really can't even make it around the table.  Can anyone relate?

Even though I am the band leader of effective communication, there are some things that don't need to be articulated in detail.  I probably won't do it at the table today, and I will refrain from doing it here too.

My cup runneth over...

Holiday Mornings


...are the best aren't they?
