The Ice Storm Cometh!

What a surprise when we opened the door to let the pack out for their morning patrol when we all came to a sliding stop half way across the ice covered deck!!
Over night the temperature dipped below freezing causing our rain fall to freeze.
This picture shows the pine trees in our backyard bending as they became top heavy with ice. Five years ago we lost several pines to ice!

The Tree Lighting

With spiked punch, chips and our good friends around us this evening our early morning endeavers paid off! With Mr. Maher at the switch the lighting of this years Maher Christmas Tree was a huge success!

Let the Christmas season officially begin!

Janie Goes To Grams For Thanksgiving.

After a bath and perm little miss everyone loves me got to go to Grams for Thanksgiving. Sporting her long gray beard she ate twice her weight in turkey! Due to the warmer weather the red sweater planned for the day was not needed!

Turkey Ala Emeril

This year the family gathered at Beth's parents home for Thanksgiving.
Beth's sister Stacey made the turkey using Emeril's famous brine and beer soaked recipe.
It was fantastic!!

The Raising Of The Spicers Grove Christmas Tree

This morning was the morning men in Spicers Grove fear most!
The Staurday morning after Thanksgiving call from Chris rallying every able body man from the ages of three to eighty( we raised it from two and added eighty so Emery could join us) to haul, push and pull the yearly Maher lighted Christmas tree extravaganza into the waiting skies over Spicers Grove.
This years tree is seven foot taller that last years and required additional lights.
A picture of the lighted tree this evening will follow.

Out To Dinner!
