Got a call from my baby girl, soon to be 45 yo, last night. Seems the
crew will get here from Houston on Saturday but she and her husband will
be here Friday night. With the descendants far flung and, mostly,
married or living with an SO we come last on the scale for holidays. We
don't mind as long as we can get together but seems other parents want
the special day. I worked shift work for a number of years and then we
worked overseas for another number of years and determined that as long
as the family can get together the exact day of a holiday doesn't
matter. Thanksgiving is about love and family as far as we're concerned.
It will be a wonderful Thanksgiving on Saturday too. Hope y'all have a
good day too.
