Happy Thanksgiving


For the first time in several years we are hosting the family Thanksgiving Dinner. We have done this many times, but not for several years.

The big difference this year is that we now live in Florida. The rest of the family lives in Indiana, Georgia, Illinois and Texas. So, instead of coming for Thanksgiving Dinner, everyone is coming for several days. We made two trips to the grocery store, one trip was a "two cart" order. The cooking has begun and the first of 16 guests will arrive tomorrow. Others will get here on Wednesday. Some will have to leave on Friday, others on Saturday and some may stay until Sunday.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone, playing lots of board games and some nice sunny weather for walks on the beach to cancel out the Thanksgiving calories. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
