Thanksgiving

Well, we're heading into the Thanksgiving weekend. It is a great time - a typical American holiday - all about family, food, and fellowship. It's gotten to be just an introduction to Christmas, and is almost overlooked, except as a shopping opportunity.

We won't have all the family here this weekend, but we'll talk and eat enough to make up for those who aren't here. Jean came in this afternoon, and we've already made a trip to the Aquarium. She hadn't seen the penguins, and hey performed appropriately for her. Kate and Andy will come down tomorrow, and Sue will come in for a few minutes when she can. Margaret, Matt, Amanda and Jesse will come in on Friday, and we'll have our big dinner then. Margaret and Kate are bringing the turkey and ham, and the side dishes will appear here.

We'll do all sorts of things, and watch some football games on TV, and probably go to a basketball game or two. We'll even divide up the Christmas presents to go the the various homes so we don't have to mail them. It really doesn't matter what we do. The point is that we get some time to be together and that what's important.

Happy Thanksgiving!
