HAPPY THANKSGIVING to everyone in my much loved extended family. Wouldn't it be great to all sit down to a huge turkey dinner, kick back, and laugh together? There's something so special about each and every one of you Smile that isn't found anywhere else. So, I give my thanks for YOU today.

I've been in Wyoming......in below 0 temperatures, freezing my butt off and LOVING every second of it. I have a sprained wrist, a broken little finger, a really sore butt from falling down on it repeatedly, windburn, really weird wooly hathair and a snowboard that needs wax and attention. I gotta learn NOT to put my hand out to break my fall.

I dragged my parents to Devil's Tower {you know, the mountain in Close Encounters of the Third Kind} It's super cool and there was like a blizzard building while we were there. I gotta say though, there's no way Richard Dryfuss climbed that thing. Hm Hm Hm.......Hm.......HHMM !!

Funniest thing.....I was throwing snowballs at my Mama {snow is dang COLD and hard} and I missed her and hit a little old lady. I ran over and said "Sorry, I'm soooo sorry". She said not to worry; it was fine. Then, when I turned and walked away, dang! if she didn't fire one and hit me in the back of the head. That was sooo funny. She was grinning so big!!

Enough rambling.......turkey to eat and I've gotta give Jerimiah a bath; seems he rolled in cow crap while I was gone and no one wanted to wash it off. Jeeeezzzz !!!

Glad to be home~

ps......you know all that bull about packed airports? Not true at all. We flew into Minneapolis last night and it was eeriely empty. Tampa, too. I guess all the mess was up in the Northeast.
I met the neatest guy on the flight home. He was in the seat in front of me. His name was Ethan and he was 4. I taught him to tie his shoes.

Well, apart from the wrist and the finger that is. Windburn comes with the territory (had my fair share of that in my youth), sprains and breaks are things we usually hope to avoid though! Smile (Does it hurt much?)

What a cool little old lady you met! I can just picture it, she nailing you with that snowball! Hehe, that's really cool, when you find old people who haven't lost contact with their "inner child" sort of. I pray I don't end up as some grumpy old fart once I reach my twilight years, that would plain suck...

Hope Ethan will remember you for the rest of his life, the nice guy on the plane who learned him to tie his shoes!

And, I sure hope Jeremiah is a dog or a horse or something like that and not a person... Heheh! Smile

Thanks for the status update. Hope your turkey-day was a really good one.
