Pre-Thanksgiving Fun Day

It is so nice to have Michael and Michelle here. Their plane landed just a few minutes late, and we have no holiday horror stories to tell about flights. I have been delayed and missed my connections so often on airlines that I am a VBAP--Very Battered Air Passenger. But no problems yesterday.

We enjoy sitting about, knitting, talking, surfing, reading, watching old James Bond movies, and just enjoying each other's company. Last night we went to a Boston steak house that has been there forever called Hilltop and had ribs and steaks and apple crisp. We are getting ready for Thanksgiving by honing our appetite skills. Today we will go shopping for little things like books, yarn and the Nintendo Wii...which is about all Michael talks about. I sure hope Santa can find one for him or we are all in big trouble.

My friend Dave gave us a nice grandmother clock before he died and it sits on our mantle next to George's family grandfather clock. George has both of them working now so we have dueling chimes every quarter hour. It is fun and makes the house seem rather like us...a little crazy but a whole lot happy.

Have a great day and enjoy Thanksgiving preparations!
