Just got home. D and I had planned to get up and bake cookies to bring to my Aunt's...but I slept until 10! It took 4 hours to get there, but we brought Shrek 3 for her to watch. The puppy was NOT amused. I have never seen a dog drool so much--thankful for the plastic-backed blanket to save my seats.
It was a pleasant day. Not too much H talk (limited to only my "girlfriend" cousins)--the rest of the time was eating and laughing. SO good not to worry about the eggshells! What beautiful weather we had--D was outside a good part of the day rollerblading, then had a good time playing with her cousins, watching movies, etc. Not one "I'm bored." I would have preferred to stay over someplace down there but never solidified plans, so we drove home tonight. Its a good thing, since I can use the am to straighten up, then have the 3 days off to concentrate on the kids and have some fun.
I called S at our usual time. He said he got a chance to drive the golf cart with his uncle (seemed to be the highlight), and my SIL made extra stuffing for me :0) He said he missed me very much...I said I missed him, too. D got on with H and told him what a good time she was having. I just told her to wish him a Happy Thanksgiving for me, then she hung up and we went back inside to be with family.
Surprisingly, no melancholoy today. Maybe got enough out Sun--Tues? Who knows. But it ended up being a good day all around.
Hope it went as well for all my friends--good night.
