Thanksgiving

What a Thanksgiving! For the first time ever, I stayed put. My family flew into Connecticut to visit with my brothers before driving to Mass. My parents were such good sports, being carted from location to location. They had a great big weekend of meeting in-laws, friends and boyfriends. But, we had an excellent time!

There was one fairly memorable moment: we were sitting in the living room of my sister's in-laws, just having a post-lunch discussion when all of a sudden there was a tremendous explosion sound. The noise was unbelievable and fairly hard to describe, but think gun-shot loud. So, everybody jumped up to make sure no one was hurt and figure out the mystery of exactly what had happened. 

After a quick examination, we found the culprit. A broad tip hawk was chasing prey and forgot to take a gander in front of him and he crashed directly into the picture window above the kitchen sink. The window shattered, sending glass and all the windowsill decorations flying. 

We got the window taped up, but everybody was a bit jumpy around loud noises after that. 

Here are some holiday pictures:

love of my life!
