A Last Minute Picnic

When Grandma and Grandpa came over for Thanksgiving they brought us a basket full of Harry and David treats. I had the idea of going on a picnic and taking some of it along. So late Saturday afternoon we did just that. We spent most of the day working on the shed and got a later start than planned for our picnic. But finally we quickly got together some of the tastiest sounding snacks and a bottle of Martinelli's sparkling apple cider. With the short days this time of year it is harder to calculate how much daylight is left. After driving for awhile and arriving at our destination it was nearly dark. But we proceeded to set out the food and enjoy our picnic. We had a little problem opening the cider because nobody had remembered to bring a bottle opener. Finally I was able to use the edge of my knife to pry it open. We had a funny and enjoyable picnic although it was rather short because it was getting dark and a little chilly. By the time we left the moon was rising, it looked so beautiful. I took a picture but it didn't quite turn out.


We took Tizzy with us also. She enjoyed the outing.


Enjoying the picnic and trying to stay warm :)
