Well what a weekend that was! Thanksgiving weekend is our set up the display (outside) weekend, that and turkey ;-) WHAT a beautiful weekend it was! A Canadian -Indian summer? I think that is what it is called. It was hot! Short weather, not seeming like fall at all. Norm started at 7:30a.m. on Sat. and I swear, he went right until Monday night! I took photos every 1/2 hour (posted on the Hubby & Halloween page!) it looks terrific! I think ThanksGiving is one of my favorite holidays and nice to actually GIVE Thanks. I have much to be thankful for.
Sadly, we did lose someone very close to us as well. Our good friend Don. The only reason this loss is easier to deal with I think, is because he suffered a long time with pain and infection. It still makes us feel sad. We are suddenly flooded with memories. Thankfully, I have many good ones of Don. Especially jumping in the pool EARLY MAY one year when it was only in the 50's - just so he could say he was the first one in the pool that year!
Oh - Did I mention he was 72 when he did that!??? He is missed by all of us. He was a second grandpa to Storm. He use to like to sit and watch Norm put the display up a few years in a row... now he has the best seat in the house;-)
