Happy Thanksgiving
Belated Happy Thanksgiving - no we didn't get the day off, but we did do a Canadian Thanksgiving dinner. Each of the volunteer ladies did a dish, we ate out on a lanai (deck) and it was a wonderful time of fellowship. We have about seven couples here from Canada when you count staff, etc so there is a heavy Canadian influence.
Our oldest daughter Steph and her husband Mike arrived Sunday evening and we had dinner together. They had a long travel day so we didn't keep them up late, but we are spending to-morrow afternoon together.
We arranged to have our mail forwarded (only the Canadian Post Office would charge less for forwarding than to hold) and we received Mondays mail on Friday. Not bad, eh!
This week there are no sessions (classes), which means no participants on the premises. Therefore it is a time to shampoo floors and do special projects. I have been working on renovations - stripping wallpaper, painting, repairs, etc. It is a break from the mops, and vacums.
I am trying to keep up on sporting news, but it is a struggle. There is a six hour time difference and sometimes games are live and sometimes there s a delay. So it is confusing. I still hopeto go to Honolulu for a NCAA football game.
