It's a Very COVID-19 Thanksgiving

A couple of weeks ago, I was unknowingly exposed to COVID-19. 10 days ago I was tested as positive and went into isolation at home.  It was only a couple of days before Dwayne and Annabeth started having symptoms as well.  We had to cancel our family Thanksgiving plans and quarantine at home.  

I guess with all of the COVID mess going around, we were not exactly sure whether to even have had it anyway, so I guess we got our answer loud and clear.

We had a honey baked ham and honey baked smoked turkey and Mrs. Conlee fixed the sides for us and brought them over.  We missed seeing Austin and Sophia (they are in Ohio with her family), we missed seeing Sarah, Justin, Noah, Hunter and Dallas (they are in middle Tennessee with the Teen Challenge guys), we missed Daddy & Marilyn, Rhonda, Charlotte & Angela.  I sure wanted things to be "normal" for Janice since it is her first Thanksgiving without Porgy, but that was not meant to be.  We will cherish all of the annual garage photos we have of all of the Trammels and Thornes from years past. 

For now, this is our 2020 Quarantine Thanksgiving picture.

My New Trees

 After we had to get rid of the pool, we found out how truly hot it was in our back yard.  I decided I wanted a shade tree back there and maybe one in front too but you have to plant trees during planting season, so I have waited all year long to finally plant 2 trees.  My Pawpaw Pinky loved Pin Oak trees so that is what momma always had as well.  That is what I bought.  I have one in the front and one in the back.  The one in the front has red leaves on it so I named it "Pinky" and the one in the back yard is by the swing and the outdoor fireplace so I thought it was fitting to name it "Porgy".  I will be on the lookout for a pink dogwood next year named "Granny" and "BA".
