We had a great Thanksgiving Day with some of our square dancing friends. Steve and Jan picked us up, and we headed over to the "Party Palace" aka Jean's place. Bob and Pat filled out our table of seven. Everyone made some dishes to share, so of course we all had plenty of delicious food.
We are very grateful for our wonderful family and friends. Terri called from Singapore. She said the embassy had put on a Thanksgiving feast a few days ago.
Chris and Anara called from Portland, but the connection was poor so we didn't talk long. They were having friends over. Ed and Julie and the kids are in Lufkin at the Shaffers' house.
Today would have been my mom's 89th birthday. She was 80 when she died in May 2007. Of course I miss her always, but even more at special times like this. The joy of celebration this time of year is mixed with sorrow as we remember our family members who have passed on.
We have some other special days to celebrate around this time of year too. Yesterday was Ed and Julie's 15th anniversary and Debbie Frith's birthday (my goddaughter). Today is Bill Jameson's birthday, and next Monday will be Julie's birthday.
