We had a delightful four-day visit from our two youngest Grandsons (also their Mom and Dad) this Thanksgiving. Winston is 3 years and Lewis is 6 months. I was named after Dad's younger brother, Lewis, who died before I was born and Grandson Lewis was named after me. The name "Lewis" in our family is from the Lewis family in Virginia. One of my ancestors about 5 generations back was a cousin of Meriwether Lewis. (The above was taken under our glass table, hence the reflection.)
Winston loves to play with toy cars. He brought his collection and roadmap, but the cars are ones we collected through the years as the older grandsons visited. He also wanted to get in on our game of Trivial Pursuit.


What's odd about this machine is that it is the first of this make and model I have seen. With lots of farms in Frederick County, manure spreaders traveling from barn to field are a common sight.

My youngest daughter and her family are visiting for Thanksgiving. We are up with them on camera technology, but there is a big gap in phone technology.

The owner of this car was either last in line or paid extra to get an unforgettable license plate. (I hope it does not mean "asleep at the wheel!")

These feathered friends in Baker Park were enjoying their swim and one came on shore to see if the camera was edible.

The first three shots were taken between 7:15 and 7:30 AM on November 15. They have not been altered except to resize for posting. The first was taken through our dining room window and the others out in the yard. (I posted another view of this on Lew's Pics.) The fog quickly dissipated, leaving blue sky and light clouds. The sunset was taken at 5:00 PM.

ZaRUBa & ZaRUBa is a jewelry shop in downtown Frederick. Their windows have a display of old jeweler's bench and tools along with a few samples. These shots were taken during my First Saturday stroll along Marker Street.

. . . but no spider. The weekend of wind and rain must have chased them away.

The last few days our skies have looked like the above. The heavy rain, flooding and high winds are east of us along the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic. The next three were taken on November 5 over a 3 minute span, looking west, southwest and east. The last was sunset on November 7.
