Cleaning up leaves

 

Thanksgiving weekend

So these are the vials that we used over the last three years for Sam's allergy drops.  We're starting shots and I was throwing these away.  This box represents about $7,000.

The day after Thanksgiving, we went shopping for new suits for the boys.  Then we went to the church and set up for a mission reunion for me.  About 7 families said they were coming.  I expected everyone late.... but by 4 pm I'd gotten messages from all 7 families that they wouldn't be able to make it.  That's okay.  I was sad not to see my friends, but my family had a blast playing pickleball, basketball, soccer, some paper activities, and just plain wrestling in the gym with each other.   I got to show Evelyn and Seth how to shoot a basket (I used to play with my Dad when I was younger), so that was fun.

We wore them all out.  We had an excellent sacrament meeting about charity, Unity, and President Nelson's talk about the new normal from a couple years ago.  I don't think my family heard a word of it.  All 4 on the one side of me were out for the count and Seth was brushing my hair.

 

Thanksgiving

We had Sharon's family join us for Thanksgiving for the first time since she got married.  I'm glad they get to see their other side of the family, but I enjoyed them.  Sharon brought the stuff for our kids to make candy turkeys like we did when we were little at our Wilcox Grandparents' house.  It was fun to remember.
