Thanksgiving

Once again I’m long past due in blogging. I used to be good at keeping a journal, but that was just for my eyes – it’s harder to blog with any frequency when you don’t lead a very exciting existence!

So, I had a wonderful week off. Actually started my Christmas shopping, but spent most of the time catching up on my DVR’s and reading book 2, 3 and starting Book 4 of the “Twilight” series. Totally sucked me in – won’t say more - see previous blog.

I left to go to the kids for the Thanksgiving holiday on Wednesday, and the drive was pretty uneventful until I got to Exit 150 – then I crawled at about 20 MPH for the next hour. There is nothing like I-95 around our Great Capital! So I arrived a little later than anticipated, but made it in one piece and without having to bolt for the new bathroom. The dogs were even happy this time to be there. The last time was a bit of a trauma for them. The house is coming along very well and what they have finished so far is beautiful. Those of you who have the “key” can see the photos at the Kodak site. Jason says they are taking a break from renovations until after the holidays and I think that’s a great idea.

Thanksgiving Day was lovely. Melinda actually had everything timed perfectly and there was really little for me to do except “assist”. Unfortunately, not all the guests had the same timing and dinner was later than planned. But it still turned out great and there was PLENTY of good wine.

I hope everyone had as nice a holiday as I did - and that you all had a chance to think about everything you have to be thankful for.
