  An interest wild life shot and so colorful Valarie. Super detail. Have fun the best you can. I have spent most of this week with a 93 year old couple. Together they are 186 years of memories and stories to tell. It is slow but we are making headway. We learned this much we need to get rid of a bunch of stuff, the kids don't need to sort through all of it when it comes their turn LOL

  You are too funny, Valarie. You will have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your mom and have many memories to look back at someday. I have not heard Oy Vey in many years. My best friend in college used to say that. Your image is wonderful. The composition and sharpness in the eye makes for a winning capture. Have fun and be safe.

  HaHa! Nice catch, great title. Amazing details and the perfect comp for tantalizing the viewer, Valarie. Happy Thanksgiving, happy trails, and be grateful your mom isn't a polka fan, although those 2/4 marches can be close.

  As always, this is a fantastic image on all counts. Have a great trip with your mom and a great visit with your relatives. I second Jeff's suggestion for an iPhod. That's how we resolve our various tastes in music while driving. Have a wonderful holiday.

  Okay...laughing to tears here. I could so totally picture the (LOOOOONG) road trip. Had to read this one to my husband along with some of the comments below it. "Rocking out is right" was his comment for you! Haha! His parents are 92 and 88.

Well, that is cute that you 90 year old Mum marches to her own beat. And we do mean MARCH! HA!

You appear to be home and in good working order so this is good.

What are her Christmas plans??? HeeHee!

Love it and TRULY that red eye is spooky the more I let it stare at me. Great shot and comp!!!
