Happy Thanksgiving

I came into work last weekend because I have so much work to do. But, I'm leaving at 2:00 so I can go pack and leave for my dad's house.

I went a little overboard on the goodies today -- hot cider, pecan shortbread, honey oatmeal raisin, and lemon cranberry cookies, individual mince pies, and cinnamon-sugared pecans. Considering there are only three staff members working and I've only seen one faculty member, I think I may have some leftovers when I leave today.

A friend contacted me yesterday. I spoke to her earlier this year when I called her to chat and she told me that her husband had prostate cancer and they were moving the next month to Iowa to be closer to one batch of grandkids (the others are in England). So yesterday, she e-mailed me saying that she wanted us to stay in contact and asking if I have the same phone number. Umm, yes, why didn't you try it? Anyway, I'll send them a Christmas card. We were never regular corresponders, only about 2-3 times a year anyway. I was just a little hurt that I didn't know about her husband's cancer earlier. At least his prognosis is good.

Anyway, happy Thanksgiving. TV dinner here I come. I'll take a pumpkin pie and Cool Whip with me.
