Post-Thanksgiving Hike

 

Hanging Rock state park.  North of Winston-Salem NC near the Virginia border.  A beautiful day-after-Thanksgiving.  

Thanksgiving 2021

 

A reunion of our pre-COVID "Wilcox Family Reunion" of Thanksgiving 2019.  At Dean & Sherry's in Winston-Salem.  Glenn, Anca and Ava came from Ann Arbor Michigan.  Linda Wilcox from Hendersonville NC.  They have a 14-year old cat Rainbow.  Rainbow Kitty *only* wanted to be with Henry.  She sat in his lap for three days!

Old Salem NC

 

Day before Thanksgiving.  Redoing our tradition from two years ago when we went to the Moravian village in Old Salem (Winston-Salem) NC.  First day of our Wilcox Family Reunion Part II, 2021.

School Picture 2021-22

 

Out my face!

 

Mr. Eighth Grader here doesn't like his picture taken.  You gotta sneak them.

Popeyes

 

Henry loves Popeyes fried chicken.  Mommy is always happy to surprise him.

The Photo. First day of 8th Grade!

First day of school

 

Henry has been home for 528 days.  School closed on March 13, 2020 and opened in-person today, August 23, 2021.  Middle of sixth grade to beginning of eighth grade.  I'm happy for Henry to be back in school with his friends, but still worried about coronavirus delta-variant.  Also, I'm going to really miss him today.  I'm still home indefinitely and missing my lunch buddy.

Birthday Boys

 

Second consecutive pandemic birthday.  We stayed close to home (well, actually at home) this year.  13 + 55.

New England Trip 2021

 

After a two-year COVID gap, Liane and Henry went to NH/MA/ME for two weeks in July 2021.  Henry spent most of the time at Hampton Beach.  That's him crashed on the pullout sofa.  And on his last day (7/24/21) he took a boat ride to Isles of Shoals ME with Amanda and Priscilla.  Just like old times!

Lavalette

 

Wow, first time I've been to the D'Amelio beach house in Lavalette since 1981.  Forty years!  Too bad the backlighting makes most of these photos so dark.  

Lakewood Township

 

Second day in NJ.  At a nice park in Lakewood Twp.
