Thanksgiving

Since the kids had plans of their own this year for Thanksgiving, we got together early for a wonderful dinner at Candice and Matts on Tuesday.  Then Casey took off for Shreveport and Chad and I took off to East Texas for a few days of R&R.  We base camped at HLR, then made the scenic drive over to Marshall for a night at a little B&B we scoped out a couple of years ago.  The evening offerings in Marshall are very sweet, we antiqued at a little shop in the downtown square, then dined at the OS2, listened to music at the courthouse square, then a carriage ride around town before retiring to the Wisteria Garden Inn for the night.  It's always so relaxing to leave the city pace and take in some wonderful Texas history in one of the many historic towns.

The Court House on the square - lights change colors to the beat of each song.

Hot cocoa and carolers at the Weisman Antique Center at the end of the evening before we walk back to the Inn.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

  

Life back at Holly Lake, good times!
