Thanksgiving
What are you doing for Thanksgiving day/weekend?
We are driving to Dallas, Texas. The more I think about it, the less I like it. I am in action mode and try not to think about it. Hazel and George Sr. drove down from Colorado Springs last week. Melva and her family drove down this week. My George has to work Wednesday, but is trying to get off by noon. The boys get out of school at noon. We will pack up the van and drive 18 hours. We will stay about two days and drive back by Sunday.
Hazel and her two sisters and most of their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will be there. Now, that is a family with lots of dynamics - illegetimate children, divorces, teen pregnancies, young deaths, some siblings do not talk or see each other, high school drop outs. It will be an adventure.
I will be looking forward to a day off.
But I am thankful I will be with my small family group. We have fun, talk, relax. Just us sometimes, is very comforting. The boys are looking forward to watching ALL the Star War movies. Thank God for car tvs.
May you all have lots of blessings to be thankful for. I will try to call. My cell phone is a handy tool driving across barren Texas.
Love, Ellie
