The Gathering

It's Thanksgiving time! We have a lot to be thankful for - one of which is that this year we should be able to have all our children and grandchildren gathered together once again. The first ones to arrive (not counting Ed & family who live in Sacramento) were Philip and Jenny who flew in last night. Another family will be coming tomorrow and half the family will be driving in Thursday morning. I actually appreciate some of the early arrivals as it allows us to visit a little more intimately. The big group is fun, too, of course, but conversations are a little more difficult.

We treasure each of these times when the kids can come here. Based on our experience, there comes a time when traveling for the holidays becomes more and more difficult. Traveling, in general, is becoming more difficult. So we appreciate each of the children making the special effort while they can.
