I haven’t updated in a couple of days so today I’m playing catch up.
Thanksgiving was as good as it gets. We descended upon dad’s house this year for our festivities. He didn’t mind, as he got a free house cleaning out of the deal from mom, sis’ and Susan. Dad already sent us the cleaning schedule for 2008 so I suspect we’ll be having Thanksgiving at his place for years to come.
Not much to say about the meal itself; everything was great and there was plenty of it.
Dad mentioned something about hooking the trailer up to his truck earlier in the week, and so after everybody was finished eating he and I went and connected the flat bed trailer to the back of his pickup. Sitting on that hard wood didn’t sound too comfortable to me, so I brought out a metal folding chair which I sat on. Worked great. Once we had everything hooked up we brought out all the kids (along with plenty of chaperones) and went for a cruise around the neighborhood. Despite 40-degree temperatures and a heady crosswind, everybody enjoyed the ride. Looks like Grandpa just started a new Thanksgiving tradition.
It was a very GOOD Thanksgiving, good new traditions, didn’t even mind the house cleaning (in fact, it was kinda fun). See you in Sun Valley next November!
