I can’t believe it is the week of Thanksgiving. Being this early makes it seem like it
arrived very quickly. We are having our
dinner on Saturday with all the couples in Scotland. We will all bring part of the dinner and so
it is just a fun time together. I have
the turkey this year. Yes, we can find
turkey and like last year I will probably go for a butterfly turkey breast and
give up my dark meat because the whole turkey is small and expensive. The breast is actually larger, less
expensive, and has no bones and so is easier to carve.
It is arrival and departure week with our smallest group
yet. We have one going home and three
coming in. Still busy though because we
have lots of transfers.
We had mutual Tuesday night but were home the rest of the
week. We had the sisters and the
Hambelton’s for dinner Friday night and played games.
Then on Saturday the sisters wanted to stay
in town and so the Hambelton’s and us went to Glasgow to see the huge, oldest
remaining Catholic Cathedral in Scotland. During the reformation most Catholic Church's were desecrated or destroyed. This one was defended by the merchants of the city and so remained.
The inside is huge and there are many wonderful stained glass windows.
Then we went to the School
Museum to learn about school through the ages.
That was fun too and brought about memories of our growing up days. How glad I am that I did not have to practice
gas mask drill and evacuation every day at school.
Grandpa got in trouble at school so he had to wear the dunce cap for a while.
We will be thinking of you all this week: Happy Birthday Bruce and Amy; Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. May you find the most beautiful trees and
have a wonderful dinner and time together with whomever you are spending the
holiday with. Next year I will be part
of it again.
Can you believe that we actually got to watch Max in
action live playing basketball yesterday in Alaska. He scored the first points. We watched one quarter and then talked with
him at the end of the game. Isn’t
technology wonderful. Thanks John for
including us in the event. We hope the
swim and skiing meets were as successful as Max’s team won all their games in
the tournament. Now he is on to swimming
come Monday.
Amy we hope that your trip to Canada has gone well, and
that your dinner last night was wonderful and the rest of the week goes well.
Brittanie I am glad you got to go to the temple dedication. What an experience! One that I have never had.
Glad to hear about gymnastics for Hallie and Brynn and
Teigen is enjoying soccer. Nathan also
loves soccer and Brittanie just had her piano recital. Peyton is golfing, Ethan is playing basketball,
and Caleb is trying out lots of sports. It is hard to remember when one season ends
and others begin. You are all growing up
so fast. Do you think we will know you
when we get home? I hope so. Until next week.
