November 2025

Football training evening, ice skating lessons, Walters gallery, Palmer boys visit and Thanksgiving. The Football training was sponsored by the Navy Youth Programs and the boys were not exactly impressed.  It was super cold which didn't help.  It was fun to see the kids all running around with the football players. We found ice skating lessons on base and Owen has come to enjoy it, but Milton is still on the fence.  We have told the boys that knowing how to skate is a critical way to woo the ladies. Matilde is selling her house so we have inherited the piano that was originally at my grandparents house. The Palmer boys came for a weekend with my mom and the boys all had so much fun getting to play with the legos and more excitingly, play Minecraft all together. We went on a tour of the State Capital building which was really neat. Thanksgiving was at my mom's house with George and Cindy with Damon making a prime rib.  It was a tasty dinner. Milton was invited to his first birthday party here that was at one of those indoor trampoline places.  He had a lot of fun.  Probably a possibility for where we would have Milton's party. One Saturday we went with my mom to Walters Gallery in Baltimore.  It definitely merits additional visits.  Milton liked the armor room the most.
