Janet sent news about their Thanksgiving Dinner but, like Brother Joe, the Idaho bunch neglected sending -or taking- pictures. We'll post them when we get them. They had about 20 people for dinner, all the kids and all but two of the grandkids, plus two great granddaughters, janet's brother Gene and his wife. Everyone contributed special parts of the dinner and it was delicious. Merri and Albert were leaving today. Kelly and the boys will go back to Boise tomorrow. Janet says road conditions are much better compared to last year when they had snow.

No more word yet from Debby in Kansas. She was hosting their Thanksgiving Dinner but, though I know she's very busy, promised to call or email if she learns anything. She and Jana also promised to send pictures.


I have another lead on a possible caretaker/companion that would enable me to spend a lot more time at the lake house in the following months. It's a young man who's doing an internship for a magazine. I'm not sure what that entails but he does have good reference as a caretaker. I'm interviewing him Monday afternoon with Rose's assistance.

Brayden and Jalen are over at the Hollensbes. Rose and I took them o lunch at St. Louis Bread Company and then left them over there to play. They're at the age where they stay up late and get up late. Myself, I go to bed early and get up early.
