Thurs 26 Nov

Happy Thanksgiving! What a lovely Thanksgiving celebration we had last night. Michael and Taylor joined us for the traditional feast (which was delicious, the moreso because I didn't get a proper lunch and was starving!) Desmond, Su and Bethany came around 8:45 and had two small plates of everything. Beth was getting overtired but still mostly charming. Michael really enjoyed plunking on the piano with her. It was nice and a little strange to be able to sleep until I woke naturally and get up with no obligations on Thanksgiving day proper. I wish the weather was better so we could go hike Rib, but it appears to be drizzly and is predicted to continue thus all day. I guess exercise will have to be indoor DVDs. I may do laundry today as the basket is full. Last week I did it on Wed to prepare for our trip, so it's due. Bob said it will take him at least an hour to unload his van and make a couple of trips to pick up large tools from a job site he finished yesterday. I might also check out the Christmas decorations, especially whether I have a stand and lights that could accommodate a real tree should I decide to pursue that. Eating my Thanksgiving feast, albeit leftovers, in front of the computer while listening to Christmas music while Bob unloads his tools in the garage. Know what, it's still delicious!
