Pre Thanksgiving Weekend.

Dennis and Bonnie arrived on Wed night and spent 6 days and 5 nights with us. What a wonderful week. Lots of activity and visitors in and out. Thursday we took a trip down to Moss Beach Distillery for lunch after mom got a hair cut. ( Heather and Mitch got cuts too! Dennis and Bonnie went to SF to visit Tracy and Greg for Thursday eve. Friday we headed to Costco and I became a member (yippee) Did some Ross shopping. Heather and Matt got in that evening and we all visited for the evening. Bonnie and I did prep work for the big barbeque on Saturday. Saturday morning we went to the Art exhibit on the point and Dennis and Matt fed the llamas. Bonnie and I went on to the church boutique and bot a few Xmas gifts. Gary, Joanna, Kristen got in around noon. Candi came up for the day. Mom sat in wonderment as we all gathered to be with her this weekend. Tracy and Greg came down for afternoon BBQ and Dennis went into SF to pick up Father Mickey who spent a few hours with us in the evening. Michael got in from Wyoming late flight but mom was still awake when he arrived. Sunday we had a big brunch and learned a new card game "Fruit Salad". Most left us on Sunday and Monday was our day of rest. Big weekend for all and mom will get some rest this week. She will flip thru all the pictures and remember her special time with all.

We had an unexpected party last night when everyone ended up at our house. A couple of pizzas in the oven and a few batchs of margarita's and all had a great evening... lots of little kids showed up at the door. Mom sat in her big chair with "the Boss" hard had on. I wore my queen crown and mitch dressed like a gangster from the 20's. Kids played some board games. Mom was up with us till 10 and enjoyed the hustle and bustle. Slept in on Sunday and Mitch turned the clocks back when he got up at 3 p.m. (I mean 2 p.m.) I have Wed off work this week so hoping to get started on cleaning up for the November visitors. We talked to both Kristen and Heather this week... both are doing great growing their babies. We can't wait till they are here. Kristen has a shower on 12/5. Heather will have her shower in early March. Mom is feeling pretty good these days, down a few more pounds but that is ok. She had her share of candy this week so may put a few more back on.
