Thanksgiving 2017
It was wonderful to have three of my children and seven grandchildren with me this past week to celebrate Thanksgiving. We hiked in the foothills, spent a beautiful warm day at the beach and visited lovely Carmel Mission, played and talked. There were 34 of us (my siblings, cousins, children, grandchildren, and friends) squeezed into my home for a bountiful and delicious Thanksgiving dinner and lots of singing afterwards. Friday we gathered at my brother Roy's home in the Oakland hills for more eating, playing and talking. Sunday I gave a farewell talk at church and opened my home in the evening to friends and family for a party. I will take these sweet memories with me to Chile. How blessed I am to have so many wonderful people in my life. Now I am down to the hard work of cleaning, packing up the house and suitcases, saying more good-byes and making last minute arrangements.
