Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving this year at Western Sizzlin' in Nags Head. My in-laws, Joan & Gene, have a condo at SeaScape and we drove down on Thursday afternoon. Sara drove my parents' car and I rode with them, while John & Daniel came separately (they stayed an extra day).

Sara did a great job of driving up & back and we all enjoyed being together. My mom was tired after the drive and almost winning SORRY!, so she took a long nap before dinner. It was nice to catch up with my dad during that time frame. After dinner, we took them to their hotel, the Hilton Garden Inn (very nice), and went back to SeaScape. I was so tired that I fell asleep on the couch while the rest of them played Dominoes Train. There was so much laughing that they woke me up (and I went to bed!).

The next morning, Sara and I drove my parents back home, after Dunkin' Donuts coffee and breakfast (yuuummm). It was uneventful and enjoyable.

I am thankful for the gift of having my parents with me this Thanksgiving. And thankful for the many people who pray for them and their health (and for my family as well).

May God bless you this holiday season.

Love,
Anita
