Ellen's Pie Odyssey has inspired me to restart things here at archive puppy. So, here are some assorted pictures from my comings and goings last fall.
Bo, me, Amy, and Rick, at Tom and Julie's wedding in August. It was extremely hot.
Me and Kathy serving up my birthday tart (vanilla cream with berries...delicious).
The scarlet oak we planted near my mom's grave, in October.
Jess, working hard even on her wedding day.
Helen gave the groom a good talking-to...
...while her husband indulged in a gourd-tini.
Kristen, Stacy and I crossed Lake Champlain (which is not a Great Lake) on the ferry boat.
And we ate some marvelous apple pie at Stacy and Matt's house.
Jon and Jen also visited one weekend in October, and Jen did the spokesmodel thing with the Mini-Poo.
In November, dad and I went to Maramec Spring Park. Unclear why they spell Maramec like that, instead of Meramec, which is how the same river's name is spelled closer to St. Louis. Or Merrimac, for that matter. Quite beautiful, though:
...and it also had a trout hatchery.
For Thanksgiving we were at Jon and Jen's, where Jon slaughtered the turkey. Well, okay, he just carved it. But this picture looks particularly aggressive to me. Maybe it's the angle of the fork.
In December we got a wreath to put on mom's grave. The cat found it very interesting.
Dad shows off part of his Christmas haul, a new nonstick skillet collection.
Somewhere in there I also went to Chicago for a few days with friends and family, to Nashville to finish up at the Southern Baptist Archive, and to Lexington for a weekend with Helen and Dave. But apparently I don't have any pictures of those.

It's probably the fist and the fork. Show the turkey no mercy, I say.
Whoo! Now that I've finally wiped the tears of laughter from my eyes, I can finally respond! I had completely forgotten about Mini-Poo...
For the pie odyssey shoutout, you get one piece of pie. For the picture of Dave with the gourdtini, you get the rest of the pie.
