Kicking off the holiday season, 2014

This year we were delighted to join the Thanksgiving festivities at the Smoyer/ Myers house. Chris, as always, cooks up a storm; and the company, as always, couldn't be better.  The day after, we launched a mini-Thanksgiving meal at our house for just us three = homemade rolls, my mom's macaroni and cheese, beets, salad, brownies and some turkey.  With good food, good company, a parade, and putting up the tree, our season was officially started!

Crater Lake from the air

Mike has spent most work weeks in Folsom this fall.  One upside?  Views like this on the flights to and from.  You can really tell it is a crater, right?
