Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. We had a great one this year. Mark, Jiajia, and Mira came for the weekend; as did Jul, Brian, and Elizabeth. (Pat wasn’t able to get time off from his job). Shirley, Ed, and Lynne joined us for dinner in Thanksgiving day. Danita made all our favorite foods.

Unfortunately, I missed the adventures this year. Danita, the Reeds, and JaMM went to the aquarium Friday. I had an appointment with the motor vehicle folks because I can’t seem to get my drivers license updated. I keep getting conflicting information and advise. For the moment, all I can do is wait until next Friday and see if it shows up.

It was quite an exciting visit to the aquarium. It was mobbed with people. Danita was trying to ham it up for a picture, but she tripped on a safety cable and hurt her hand. It’s nothing serious, but it sure is ironic to hurt yourself on a safety wire.

The other adventure was Saturday. Danita and the Reeds went to downtown Ellicott City to visit the B & O Railroad museum. This is a small but nice place to visit. It’s also free, which doesn’t hurt. The report was that everybody had a good time.

Mark ran a half marathon that was near Ed & Lynne’s house. I gave him a ride up. When he finished, he tried to call me to pick him up. He had Danita’s and my phone numbers mixed up. In addition, Danita was driving so Jul answered his phone. Mark’s phone signal was weak so Jul called me to let me know. It took me a while to figure out what happened. But I picked up Mark successfully. I drove him to Ed’s where we linked up with Jiajia and Mira. We had a very nice lunch. JaMM and I went our separate ways to go home.

I hope everybody enjoyed their holiday.
