Thanksgiving 2010...

This year's Thanksgiving was held at Luke and Linda's house.  Linda is my younger sister (I am one of those terrible middle children).  Her husband Luke had some heart surgery earlier this fall and is now up and around.  He had had a heart problem and surgery a while ago, and had some stents.  He was recovering and played golf quite a bit this year, but must have needed some roto-rooter work. 

Anyway, they hosted the get together and we had quite a group.  My brother, Walt (older) and his wife, Carol, and their two girls (Jessica and Meredith -- both grown and living in the Columbus area) were there, as were Pam and I.  Later that afternoon, Linda's son and his wife and their two children stopped over.  That pretty much put all the remaining members of the family (except for Doug, Danika and Quinn) in one place at one time.  Glad the terrorists didn't decide to nuke the place. Whewwww!!

 

We got to talk about lots of things, watch some football, and just enjoy each others' company.  All of us live in the same state, only about an hour apart, but sometimes it seems like days.  We don't get together often enough -- holidays, an occasional golf date, a medical emergency -- not nearly enough as we are all getting older.  I think this is something I will work on this year...it's now "on the list."

On Thanksgiving Day, all over America, families sit down to dinner at the same moment - halftime. 

Hooah
