I think I lost about 6 weeks.

After I returned from the cruise we went to Alamo TX to meet up with Cindy and Tim. We had rented a house with a pool for a week of relaxation.  We celebrated Tim’s 62nd birthday, attended Day of the Dead celebration (music and dancing) at a flea market which was fun to watch and attended Mass at the Basilica complete with mariachi band.  It was a relaxing time for us all. 

I played Shanghai, 3-13 and Hand and Foot, we both had some doctor appts and our lady’s lunch at Black Walnut was a big hit. 

Kristin was in town and spent one night with us.  I was hoping she could stay for Thanksgiving but I was a week off .  It was not 2 days away, but 9!  

I hosted our two South African neighborhood families for Thanksgiving.  They brought a lamb roast because they weren’t totally sold on the turkey thing!  All went well and there was only enough turkey left over for one pot pie later in the week.  

And so now it is Christmas!  

I put my pumpkins away, decorated our front porch, the front door and gate and I am done with that. I doubt I will do anything inside. We are not expecting anyone. 

We are going to Michigan for Christmas. There is lots going on over the next 3 weeks before we leave. Maybe I will have more to write about next time!
