Family Photos
Yesterday, November 25th, was Thanksgiving. The weather was sunny with a perfectly warm, fall breeze, which stirred the bees out of their slumber and confused the temporally impaired about the season. I drove to my dad's house to visit my family. I fell into the trap most Americans do on Thanksgiving and ate too much turkey and three servings of pumpkin cheesecake. I ended the day at my dad's playing Apples to Apples with my step-siblings and their ilk.
I drove to my mom's house in Unicoi and picked her up. She did not have anything to do on Thanksgiving. None of her family were celebrating. She wasn't exactly welcome to my dad's house. So, we went back to my apartment and watched Doctor Who for a few hours while my nephew ran around taking pictures with my "big" camera.
The holiday was peaceful. I tried to be as nice as possible to my family. It is not always easy for me. I was a little miffed about my step-siblings giving me the nickname: Intellectual. I suppose I read but I don't think I'm an intellectual--I just make a habit out of thinking.
My three-year-old nephew, Mathew, took the first picture, and I took the two pictures of him.
