due to a last minute change in Thanksgiving plans. Instead of the 2 of us traveling to Fredricksburg/Hill Country for a little get away, we're staying home and cooking. I'm soft - when my son decided he wanted to come down for some "home cooking" I couldn't say no. Hopefully we can still do the Hill Country get away soon.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving - eat some turkey for me.
- was extremely relaxing
- was way too short
- was much cooler than Texas (:
- was slightly affected by Kyle but nothing too bad (like Ike!)
- gave us the opportunity to meet christians in Portland Maine
- "forced" us to eat some wonderful food (lots of seafood and yummy desserts!)
- allowed us to view some of God's beautiful creation we had never seen before (Bar Harbor Maine (our favorite), St. John's New Brunswick and Halifax Nova Scotia) BTW - the leaves were already beautiful shades of red and gold.
- gave us time to visit, take naps, play some games, do some crossword puzzles and start planning our next vacation.
It was good while it lasted but now back to reality.
Dad called yesterday and said she didn't have a great day. They had hoped to wean her off the ventilator, but that's not happening yet. I think they were planning to go back today to see her again, so we might know more tonight.
Thanks! How excited are you to be a gramma?! I'm excited for Rachel & Nathan. Dad & Marcus' trip to Kenya went really well. They were ready to come home but they had a great trip. Marcus loved being back, Dad said it was like he had never left, fit in just right.
He and I are leaving this afternoon for a vacation in the northeast - US and Canada. Guess who decided to tag along??? Tropical Storm Kyle! We must be storm magnets.
- The Mosquito Family decided to have a huge family reunion here and every long lost distant Mosquito relative decided to come. They heard we had room at our house and are now camping with us.
- The neighbors must be having a competition to see who can get the largest, loudest, stinkiest generator.
- Front of our subdivision got power Wednesday so I must drive by all the houses with lots of lights on to get to my dark house. I just wonder what all they are doing in there.
- Ice has all melted
Believe me - in spite of all this I know I am still very blessed!
I'm right there with you on the generator issue. I don't understand running them all night...it's been so nice. I had a bolt of netting and cut a piece to tape up over Ethan's screen since it is a little warped...no mosquitos yet.
I am sure it won't be very long until you are "enlightened." Sorry about the mosquitoes. Are you sleeping under a mosquito net since you are camping? ;) I am glad you are doing well!
