SO..

WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY KIDS
THIS THANKSGIVING WEEKEND..

SO MY WIFE & I..

DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING "DIFFERENT"..

WE SPENT THANKSGIVING "IN" THE MOUNTAINS..NORTH OF KERNVILLE..
AT A PLACE CALLED "MCNALLY'S"..

& IT WAS "BEAUTIFUL"..

A CLEAR BLUE SKY..

WARM..

THE "AUTUMN COLORS" OF THE TREES..

(ORANGE & YELLOW)..

BREATH-TAKING "MOUNTAIN VIEWS"..

HUGE ROCK-FORMATIONS..

PEACEFUL VALLEYS..

& THE "MIGHTY" KERN RIVER..

WE TOOK A COUPLE OF "LONG"-HIKES..

"1"
TOOK US ALONG A RIDGE-LINE
"HIGH"-ABOVE THE RIVER..

& "ANOTHER"
THAT TOOK US "HIGH"-UP "INTO" THE MOUNTAINS..

(IT WAS A "HARD"-CLIMB--BUT ONCE WE MADE IT TO THE TOP YOU COULD "SEE" FOR MILES)..

WE TOOK OUR DOG MOLLY..

(WHO "NOW"
THAT THE KIDS ARE "GONE"..
GETS "LOTS" OF LOVE & ATTENTION)..

"&"..

THERE WAS "NO" TV..

"OR" CELL PHONE RECEPTION..

(WHICH TOOK A "LITTLE" GETTING USED-TO..
I MEAN I "COULDN'T" GET "ON" FACEBOOK)..

WE HAD A "REALLY-GOOD" THANKSGIVING DINNER..
WITH TURKEY..& PRIME RIB..& QUAIL..IN THE RESTAURANT..

(WITH "3"-SLICES OF PIE..
1-PUMPKIN..1-APPLE..& 1-PECAN)..

& "EVERYONE"-THERE..

WAS "REALLY" NICE & FRIENDLY..

IT REALLY-"WAS" QUITE SPIRITUAL..

CELEBRATING THANKSGIVING IN "GOD'S COUNTRY"..

BEAUTIFUL SCENERY..

QUIET..

"LOTS" OF TRAILS TO HIKE..

COCKTAILS BY THE RIVER..

"NO" EMAILS OR TEXTS..

& "PLENTY" OF "TIME"..

TO REFLECT..

ON "ALL"

THAT MY WIFE & I
HAVE TO BE "THANKFUL"-FOR..

WE "BOTH"

"REALLY" ENJOYED IT..
