Thanks for the Pretty Dress!

Veronica really likes the nice dress that our friends Billy and Vickie Oliver gave her. We think she looks mighty cute. The Olivers have been our friends since Papa was 6 years old, and they are some of our favorite people in the world. We look forward to seeing you guys again soon.

Happy Early Turkey-Day!

As you may have seen on Mama and Papa's Blog, we all went to visit the Mayo family for an early Thanksgiving Dinner. We all had a great time, and Veronica loved all of the attention. She especially liked Molly, the funny brown dog.

Here's a close-up of Veronica with Mrs Eulane Mayo. She's one of Papa's patients, and she and her husband, Ray, have become great friends of our family. Mrs. Mayo is a retired chef, restauranteur, and cookbook author. Boy, does she make a great dinner! We're so happy that she's doing so well, and we look forward to seeing her again soon.

Mr and Mrs Mayo's friends and neighbors helped make the day extra special. Here you see Veronica being held by "Aunt Mary" (everyone in Slayden, TN calls her Aunt Mary).

Rani had a great time, and loved all the attention that was heaped upon her.

Veronica is caught teaching herself how to untie Papa's shoes.

She also knows how to untie scrub-pants.

GRANDPA!!!!

Veronica had a great time with Granny and Grandpa. I hadn't thought of it until now, but this was first time that she'd been in the presence of a neck tie.

Veronica enjoyed checking out Grandpa's smooth shave.

Walkin' Tall

We went down to visit Granny and Grandpa, and they sent us back with a walker. Veronica is enjoying the increased speed with which she can get around.

"Look what Ninang got me!"
