We had a good trip to Fredericksburg, Virginia for our Thanksgiving celebration. We rented a van, and my brother Gary and sister-in-law traveled with us. Gary did all of the driving which was a huge treat for me. We took two days each way so to not overdo the travel days. Because we left on Monday and started home on Friday, we missed the winter storm. Vicki, Niccole, and I prepared "the feast", so it was not too much work for any of us. Can you beat Thanksgiving food? I don't think so, and the Detroit Lions game was part of the tradition too!
The 3 nights at Niccole's and Cole's were relaxing for Ron and me. Nic, Gary, and Vicki participated in the annual Turkey Trot, and Nic and Vicki did some shopping Thanksgiving night.
Today I am trying to organize my thinking for December birthdays and of course, Christmas. We do travel to Ann Arbor again this week. Ron is recovering from the last bout of pneumonia.
We were home in time yesterday to watch most of "The Game". The Buckeyes were lucky to win that one! George had set our DVR, so we were able to see the fight that we had heard on the radio. Griffiths also took care of the newspapers, mail, garbage pick up, and of course, Blue while we traveled.
We have much to be thankful for as we both continue to enjoy family, our home on Gilead Lake, and scaled down traditions. We live in a peaceful setting surrounded by nature's surprises and beauty. All three of our siblings and their spouses have been so supportive, helping us in a variety of ways.
Love,
Ron & Jan
