Honest. We were visiting my son and his family for over a week to celebrate Thanksgiving. I didn’t want to post about it, as I didn’t think it was wise to announce that our house would be empty on a public forum.

Any way It was a perfect visit. Our granddaughters Lucia and Rosie were exited to see us. We were a bit worried as it has been over two years since we last saw them. Now that they are on this side of the Atlantic, I pray that we can see them more often.

But it has still been too long since we saw our daughter and her family. Skype doesn’t count.

Son and family bought a lovely and quite spacious house in a suburb about 45 minutes outside of Boston–pictured above. My favorite deacon has not had our photo’s processed yet, but I will post some when they are ready.

In addition to all of that quality family time, we lunched–on a whim–on Martha’s Vineyard–and  spent a glorious day in Boston.

My favorite deacon would not leave until he saw the inspiration for the TV show Cheers.Yes he did purchase a souvenir. Sigh.

In addition to missing my grandchildren and children, I really miss the ocean.

I pray that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  My favorite deacon and I certainly counted our blessings this year.

Even when we returned home to find that our furnace had died. In the scheme of things it is a small thing indeed. Even if the repair bill was not.
