Thanksgiving

To my delight, my dad and his new wife (Cookie) were able to come  out to Houston for Thanksgiving. They arrived on Thanksgiving day, which was great and we were able to enjoy them for almost a week. As usual, we had a project for my dad and Jonathan to do while he was out here. We can't have my dad out and not have a project of some sort for him to work on. It just wouldn't be right. We were also able to fit a nice visit with Cookies Uncle into the trip. He was working and showing his car at the George R. Brown convention center and gave us tickets to get in. The little fire engine is one of three little cars that her Uncle has restored for his grandkids. Of course being a fire fighter family, we had to have this shot.

We also enjoyed having some fun at our neighbor sons expense. He has been parking his truck in front of his parents and our house for a long time and it was the first time that it was gone for awhile. So since we happened to have this sign in our garage (don't ask). We decided to put up the sign. Of course we had his parents permission as well as our other neighbors permission. It was fun to see and it was really fun to see him come home and run over the sign because he got so mad at it. I have to say, I think there is a little friction between him and the neighbors with regards to his parking habits. Not to mention the truck is really loud.

The project that my dad and Jonathan worked on while he was out here, was of course the garage. We had purchased a new door for the back of the house, so that we could put the old door from the back of the house on the back of the garage for easy access from the garage to the back yard. So, with my dad's help both doors were installed in one day. I don't have any pictures of that though. It was a good time and thankfully the weather held out for us too.
