Why I think I am a lucky person...

These are my pictures from Thanksgiving last week in Edisto.


This is Gus. He's the newest addition to the family. He belongs to my cousins Anna and Will. And Gus has made me decide for sure that my next dog needs to be a Beagle! But what will I name him? Maybe Zack, or Buddy, or Grady, or maybe something from a book, like Jake (The Sun Also Rises...but my Jake's 7 and I just realized that!) But I'm rambling here...Not to worry, though. I've got plenty of time to come up with a name. Not getting another dog any time soon.

My mom...I think this picture is beautiful.

If you ever eat with us at a family affair, you'd better get in line quick. Generally the lining up is the source of many a joke. Someone is always being accused of cutting in line or scraping the brown sugar topping off the sweet potato casserole my mom makes. So don't do either of those things....or better yet, go ahead! You've already got a built in scapegoat to take the blame for you! Just save me some topping.

My grandmother (holding her dog Sweet Pea) and her seven children.

My aunt and my mom.

The gang's almost all here! This is my entire family....missing are an uncle, a cousin, the wife of a cousin and her daughter. That's it. The rest is all here.
