Leaving Winter

We leave tomorrow for what we hope is sunny CA. When we return in December the whoop de doo of Christmas will have started. Indeed, we have already spotted the Jaycees tree lot fully stocked. The big event during the first week of December is the Snow King Bazaar - everything there from cakes to kittens. Everyone there too! Bit by bit, too, the tourists will trickle in but somehow, because most of them are someone's relatives, the change in the grocery lines is tolerated. It is later when the here for nothing but skiing and partying arrive we are not so warm hearted.

So, from San Francisco, pictures may precede Thanksgiving - or not ! ( They will definitely follow) What a marvelous thing that we have an official holiday that dictates: stop, be with those you love, eat too much and be thankful for it all! In case I am not able to post again until after the holiday, I wish you a happy one.

I am looking forward to spending sometime with you, Steve, on Weds!
