Thanksgiving plans

This year I think I have talked the Crouches into coming to Marble Falls for Thanksgiving. It is a good year to break patterns with Bea gone. Besides, I have been wanting to cook the meal for many years. So I have begun to think about Turdukens and cranberry relish and yams and green beans. How about pies?

I talked to Diana Monday night and last night. She said they are planning to go to Baton Rouge this Thanksgiving, but for Christmas it looks like Atlanta (Smyrna) might be grand central station come December. I think (but don't know because it is too far away) that we will spend Christmas Eve/Christmas Day in West Columbia or Houston and then depending on the weather and level of energy (sometimes we just need time to ourselves, don't you know), I would love to drive far enough to see as many of you as possible. I know T, T, T and T might be around and Phil might be nearby getting his house ready to sell.

So that's what I am thinking right now, but we will see what tomorrow brings.

  1. We are going to be around here at Thanksgiving and probably in Knoxville on or around Christmas. Toby and group will be in Knoxville for about 14 days starting on December 13th and then go to Bozeman Montana prior to returning to Swaziland. We are headed to the Grand Canyon and Sedona on November 8th for a few days. and My trip to Honduras is back on for the last weekend in November. We need to have someone put this all on a matrix. On your other posting--Do you think that it is environmental conditions that have contributed to the unusually large breed of cranes in Austin. Those cranes that we see in the swamps around here are running about the same size as usual.

  2. My plans are to come in a big circle I think for Christmas. I hope by then my house is sold and I am just picking up or distributing a very, very few material things..
    If I could figure a clean flight to BR for Thanksgiving, I would come but I have to teach Tuesday, no exceptions and be back Monday.

    I need to see if this posts before writing more. Have a tricky time still will cookies here . maybe it is the altitude and they don't rise well.
