OK...let me say a word or two about yesterday......and about yesterday there is little to remember that is of any consequence. A bit of shopping, a bit of cleaning the house, a bit of reading, a bit of internet surfing on RV sites, travel deals, blog site reading, and just watching a bit of the tellie. There.......a few more words than I planned on saying.
TODAY:
The morning was spent getting the preps finished for the mid-afternoon dinner, a small affair in comparison with some previous years, but........our immediate family is smaller for this particular Holiday. Dr. Jeni, Darrel and Meghan, Ava, and Max all went to Branson yesterday to be with Darrel's family for today's dinner, etc. They "take turns" and were with us last year, so to Branson they went for the long weekend. Jeremy and Anne-marie had to be in Washington DC yesterday for a photo/film shoot for the Senator's campaign.....and then they remained in DC and spent today with her brother and his wife who live in DC. Then they were going back to NYC this evening as they are flying to San Juan, Puerto Rico in the morning for four days down on the island, to enjoy the beaches and the culture. They went down there for a long weekend a couple of months ago and fell in love with the island.....and, sooooo, they are returning in the morning.
Soooo, we had Becky and Rachel, and also Becky's brother Brian with us this afternoon and all evening. The 1st Lady fixed the traditional turkey dinner with the regular other dishes that go with the turkey. Pumpkin pie/whipped cream and ice cream and brownies(for Rachel) followed the dinner later in the afternoon.
This evening we played some board games as well as watch the weekly episode of "Survivor"......a little more insight into the daily lives of the contestants that have been edited out of the regular weekly shows.....and it gave a better perspective of some of the "leaders" in the show!!!
About 10pm.....Becky, Rachel, and Brian left for Cape Girardeau as Brian had to go to work in the morning. And....but as they loaded their car we noticed that the frost was already on the car's roof......a clear and cold evening!!!
It has been a very good day.....full of food, conversation, and laughs......!!!!! And, as always........
LIFE IS JUST REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!!!!......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
