Ye Olde Thanksgiving Pictures

Warning: If ye do not like either laughter nor pictures, do not waste thy tyme on this poste!!

The day set aside for thanks, November the 28th, was a joyful day. My fair sisters and I went a little, how shall I say, nutty, with the portrait session that morning. The following are the results. (If there seems to be an overabundance of pictures of me--it's probably because I don't have my own camera and I have two sisters who were both taking pictures. That is also the same reason there is a sort of "bouncing" back to a previous "set" of pictures.)
Picture
I wouldn't win any prizes for most authentic Pilgrim anywhere...
Picture
I look more like a cavalier's maid...
Picture
"Doesn't seem to bother her much."
Picture
"Bossy milk maid..."
Picture
I suawnee! I look like my Granddaddy! ("Suawnee" is one of his expressions.)
Picture
Better? ;)
Picture
Picture
Picture
She spotted us!
Picture
A classic case of a photographer being photographed...
Picture
Picture
I had something in my eye!
Picture
This one must have come off Katherine's camera...
Picture
I look rather quizzical...
Picture
Classic Abby...fighting. (She really is quite timid; but she wants us to think she's a tiger!)
Picture
I had the giggles...
Picture
SEE??
Picture
Sisters!
Picture
Sisters!!

Picture
I've been famous my entire life for screwing up pictures...

Secret aumusement

Picture
Oh, look! It's me again!
Picture
Oh, really?

I just like this one.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Heehee...
Picture
KT and Abby...
Picture
An artist to the core, Katherine adjusts Savannah's skirt to get a shot of her shoes...
Picture
Ah, here she is! Finally...
Picture
I guess that amused her... ;)
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
She really looked the most authentic. She just took her Reformation Day dress and used different accessories.
Picture
Picture
Katherine said I looked like a doll sitting down there on the floor...
Picture
Rubbing my eyes again...(notice my toes... :D)
Picture
Katherine getting set for the triple pictures...
Picture
Katherine looks like she did when she was about 12. :)
Picture
Savannah took one look at this one and said, "That's a Nate face!" (If you don't remember who Nate is, drop me a line and I'll explain. :D)
Picture
We are females afterall, so we had to have shoe pictures!
Picture
Picture
Picture
We betook ourselves to the Grandparent's apartment for dinner (in this case the mid-day meal). I ate too much, less because it was Thanksgiving (why is it traditional to eat too much??), than because I always fill myself overfull when gathered around with family (and/or friends). Don't know why...

Anyways, the food was grand--trukey, green beans, faux-taters (calliflower), olives, cranberry sauce, salad... :) Grandma made some oyster dressing (which I didn't eat for two reasons: 1) I can't have the bread and 2) I don't like oysters anyway) and some apple salad. I didn't eat any of that either because there was stuff in it I wasn't supposed to eat. Grandpa and Grandma had corn and sweet potatoes too. (I LOVE sweet potatoes, but they aren't a GAPS approved food. :( )
Picture
Don't know WHAT I was up too!! (And no, I do not generally hold my silverware like that!)
Picture
Grandpa love his corn!! He still eats it faster than I ever did even missing some of his teeth!
Picture
Later in the day, I was goofing around with my cap and joked that I was a Navy nurse (because I had on my Navy blue wool coat.)
Picture
Mum!
Picture
Picture
There is a story that goes with this apparently random picture of the ceiling fan. (In fact, it really IS a random picture...) I picked up someone's camera (Katherine's I believe) and while wildly geticulating about some crazy thing, I cliked the shutter. This very nicely balanced picture was the result! :D
Picture
The youngest of our coffee drinkers.
Picture
One of my favorite men!
Picture
Caught me goofing off again. (I really, really like those shirts...they are quite comfortable and the sleeves are completely practical.)
Picture
Katherine eating a food that matches her dress... ;)
Picture
Charming Savannah...
Picture
Ye Thanksgiving Feast! (After most of us had finished...)
Picture
The antique light fixture that illumines my grandparent's table.
Picture
Coffee
Picture
Savannah's turkey...
Picture
I believe this really was the best picture taken of Grandma--she's harder to photograph than I am!
Picture
They were both giggling... :)
Picture
Look alikes... (sorta)
Picture
Mama
Picture
Savannah "napping"....
Picture
...while I wash the dishes.
After a little while, Grandma and Mama went over to the local nursing home to visit Grandma's last remaining first cousin and bring her her traditional Thanksgiving turkey leg. From what I hear, Helen was delighted and they had a lovely visit.

While they were gone and Savannah and Katherine went to feed chickens and take some wood to the basement to feed the furance, Grandpa and I had a little interview session. I got some good stories, I think. I really intended it to be a bit more "interview-ish" but some places it's more like a conversation. :) I haven't taken the footage off my camera yet.
Picture
For my filmmaking friends--this is my set up. :) The mic only records in mono, but it is good quality. (Sennheiser is a good brand, I think.)
Picture
Here's hopin' that your Thanksgiving was as wonderful as mine was!!!

    The Middle Kid

    I chose to title this blog "The Adventures of a Middle Kid" because that is exactly what I'll be detailing (mostly). I chose 'kid' over any other word, like 'girl' (I am the middle girl so it also would have worked) or 'child'
    (since I am no longer exactly a child).

    I am a middle kid and I will always be a middle kid--even when I'm 80!
