Went to Chattanooga.. but didn't see the Choo Choo.

I got a way for a long day trip. My cousin Lois from California is here and us ladies hopped in the rental car and cruised to Chattanooga for the day. We hiked to an underground waterfall.. and then hit the Chattanooga Aquarium, which is ranked in the top 10 of the United States. It was so much fun.. here are some highlights.

The First Fake Tree I've Ever Owned.

We bought our Christmas tree today. Its the first fake tree I've ever owned, but fresh trees are astronomical here, and its not like I can hike in to the woods around here and cut one down. It still is pretty.. and its beginning to look a lot like Christmas over here.

A TN Thanksgiving...

I did miss Oregon a little bit.. and my family when I called home on Thanksgiving Day.. but I didn't go without celebrating ALL I am thankful for.. and part of that being the "family," I have here in Thanksgiving. Maria and I cooked a Thanksgiving meal and had some of our close friends over to share it with..
