A Tale of Two Thanksgivings

I was so grateful to get the chance to zip home to Oregon for Thanksgiving last year. I was only there for 72 hours, but got my fill of food, family, and fun :)

Joe held down the fort back home...he enjoyed the holiday with parents, 3 of his siblings, and their families.

Gun Show

Went to the National Gun Show today and made sure to wear my best camo. I don't own any guns, but I do like to people watch. The gun show was in the same building where we went to the cat show. not a lot of crossover between the two groups.


Older Bro Ben


BFF Marc


Lots of Third reich memorabilia. not sure if the sellers were like "this was part of history and worth collecting" or like "Man, those were the days" but either way, nazi stuff is way expensive. marc didnt buy any because he didnt want to feel like the neighbor from "American Beauty"

A stool made out of an elephants foot

Lots of ron paul supporters. obama... not so much.

Joe and Janet in Town

Always good to have family in town. Couldn't put it better than they did, so we'll link to their post
