THANKSGIVING

ONE MORE THANKSGIVING HAS COME AND GONE. THE TURKEY DINNER WITH CLAY KAREN AND THEIR FAMILY THAT ARE STILL AROUND AND PENNY AND ANDRA WAS DELICIOUS. THE COMPANY WAS EXCEPTIONAL WE MISSED THE SCOTT JENSENS HOW EVER.
ALEX HAD A BIRTH DAY ON THE 26TH OF NOV. AND IN ONE OF MY BLOGS I SAID HE AND TRENT WERE BORN THE SAME YEAR BUT I ERRED IN THAT, HE CAME A YEAR AFTER TRENT. NOW I HAVE THAT STRAIGHT FOR GENEOLOGY PURPOSES IN CASE SOME DAY THIS IS READ AND SOME ONE THINKS THE YEAR ON ONE BIRTH ARE THE OTHER WAS WRONG.
I INVITED ALEX TO SLEEP OVER HERE WHILE THEY VISITED AND IT WAS FUN HAVING HIM HERE. NEXT TRIP WILL BE ANDREWS TURN TO SLEEP OVER. ALEX HAD FUN HE SAID SO I HOPE SO. I BOUGHT 12 GALLONS OF BOTTLED WATER LAST WEEK FOR STORAGE AND I HAD HIM CARRY IT DOWN FROM THE GARAGE. WHAT WOULD HAVE TAKEN ME SEVERAL HOURS TOOK HIS YOUTHFUL SELF A FEW MINUTES. I'M SO HAPPY TO HAVE THAT DONE AND HAVE THE FUN OF TALKING WITH ALEX AS HE BROUGHT THE JARS DOWN 2 AT A TRIP. HIS GRANDMOTHER JENSEN TOOK HIM SHOPPING FOR HIS B/D GIFT AND SHE GOT HIM 2 BOOKS. IT WAS ABOUT FOUR WHEN THEY GOT HOME YESTERDAY AND BEFORE THEY LEFT THIS A.M HE'D ALMOST FINISHED THE BOOK. HE IS A GOOD READER AND FAST. I'D STILL BE STRUGGLING WITH THE READING OF THAT BOOK.

PENNY BROUGHT HER COMPUTER HOME AS SHE WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH IT. CLAY CAME AND SPENT AT LEAST TWO HOUR TRYING TO GET THINGS GOING FOR HER. SHE AND I BOTH SO APPRECIATE HIS WILLINGNESS TO HELP IN TIMES OF NEED. RYAN AND KARA CAME AND RYAN TOOK OVER THE THING AND FINALLY AT ELEVEN .PM. LAST NIGHT IT WAS UP RUNNING. THIS A.M. SHE DOWN LOADED SOME THING AND SHE AND RYAN TALKED ON THE PHONE THEN C.J. AND LENELL CAME FOR ALEX AND CJ HELPED HER FINISH GETTING IT TO LOAD THE PROGRAM SHE WAS WORKING ON. WHAT A BLESSING TO HAVE THESE GRANDCHILDREN THAT KNOW HOW TO WORK THE MODERN TECHNOLOGY. WE'RE BOTH LAMENTING THE TIME CJ AND LENELL GO TO OVER SEAS ASSIGNMENT THIS SUMMER AND RYAN AND KARA LEAVE FOR DENTAL SCHOOL. WHAT WILL WE DO WITH OUT THEM???

DARLEEN CALLED AWHILE AGO AND WAS HOME FROM CALIF. SHE AND BRANDON GOT HOME ABOUT 4:30 YESTERDAY AND BRANDON HAD TO BE TO WORK AT 6 P. M.
SHE HAD A WONDRFUL TIME AND WAS TREATED LIKE ROYALTY AT JESSICA'S HOME.
SHE DIDN'T SEE THE BAY BRIDGE AS THE TRAFFIC ON THANKSGIVING DAY WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER AND THEY WENT [I THINK SHE SAID ABOUT 14 MILES THAT TOOK 2 HOURS. SO THEY GAVE THAT UP AS WOULD HAVE BEEN ANOTHER 70 MILES OF THAT DRIVING. I'D SAY A WISE CHOICE.
