Time out...

Time out... for Thanksgiving.

Last evening we got a surprise message from our granddaughter. We knew she was in London on assignment but had been told by her mother that she wouldn't be coming back to the USA until just before Christmas. In the message she told us her company had decided to let some people return to the states for Thanksgiving. But, it was so late that almost all flights were booked. In trying to find a flight she found one that would get her to Washington DC. We live about an hour and a half from that airport so she wanted to know if we'd like a "visitor" for a few days. Of course we said "yes" even thought it meant changing our plans. We haven't seen her since last Christmas and were very excited to see her. We got in touch with her mother and she's driving here too. The one request she made was to have a home cooked Thanksgiving meal so today's been a bit hectic gathering all the 'fixins' together.  (We'd planned to eat out) I just got back from the airport with the granddaughter so haven't had time to work on the next post. I should be able to get something up by Sunday after they both leave.

Soooo.... To all of you who do stop by from time to time, I hope you have a good Thanksgiving and that you do truly have things to be thankful for. My wife and I sure do in that the daughter who's been so sick is now part of a clinical trial that seems to be helping her. And, of course, we're thankful that we have another daughter and granddaughter here with us for a few days.

Gobble, gobble and don't eat too much... :-)
