Thanksgiving Week

The culmination of our time here in Louisville at Karen and Tom's Windenskye is upon us.  Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year.  Those who know me realize that.  It is a no pressure gathering of family and friends to celebrate your own reasons to be thankful. We have had the whole gamut here over the years from groups as large as 50 to this year, only 12.  We are fortunate that our son Jason will be here this year as he has missed several, but are disappointed that Kelly and Todd and the grandkids won't be.  Neither of Karen and Tom's sons will be here either, the cost of growing up.  None of sister's Nancy's brood will be here either.

We'll go to the airport in a few minutes to pick up Ray and April, and Rachel is expected later today.  The others will arrive over the next few days right up to T-Day.  Unfortunately the weather isn't really cooperating, it's 22 degrees right now and only supposed to warm up to a balmy high of 42 on Friday with a good chance of snow on Tuesday.  Now in all honesty we have had snow before and some shirt sleeve weather in the past, whatever Mother Nature throws at us, we'll still be thankful to be together and have a good time.
