Time continues to fly by.   We want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.   A long weekend to enjoy here in the states, at least for those of us still working!   Some day I will get to retirement and it won’t matter as much for me!  For now I am looking forward to a short work week.  We will be traveling.  To Milwaukee Wednesday night, then to Kalamazoo on Thanksgiving.  We rented a house again, and will get together with John and MJ, Skip Claire and Denise.   Then some sightseeing for a couple of days!  We will relax and enjoy.   And the same to all of you!

Chris had her second eye surgery and all is well.   The first one was so perfect and this one has been as they tell you to expect.  A little more discomfort and taking a little longer to heal.  But still great.  She is seeing better than she ever has, but will have to wait for it to fully heal before determining the next step.  Since one eye is distance and one eye is reading (as her contacts were) and she will likely need glasses for computer work.  She had her week after surgery examination today and all signs positive.

Not so positive, winter has been here in full swing for Wisconsin.  We have had plenty of cold (which I hate) and last night had 6 inches of wet heavy snow.  We had a little warmup in between the cold and snow, with some rain.   I am not sure that was a positive change, but we deal with what we have!  Now some cold (well below average)  and I see the 10 day forecast shows another warm up.

Take some time to enjoy life, give thanks for our blessings, and tell someone you love them!

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL We’ve been colder here in New Mexico for the past week also. But tomorrow they are predicting the 60’s. You can keep all the snow up north. I’m also looking forward to seeing Chris and Randy in Florida in January. If your traveling stay safe. Marie

    Dear Randy and Chris
    Thanks for all the interesting News. Here we are waiting for snow to come! Our temperture is much too high, but we enjoy this too. Insted of skiing we are hiking in the hills. Up on the mountains there is snow, but not really enough for skiing.
    We are glad to hear that Chris eye-operation worked out fine. We wish you all a good holiday and take care.
    Love from Walter and Yolanda, Switzerland

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING! This day reminds me of an invitation in the US more than 40 years ago when a enjoyed the one ond only stuffed turkey I ever ate. That was a wonderful feast! Wish you could send some over to Switzerland.
