Our Thanksgiving was a little different this year. We weren’t in Texas, we weren’t at Mom’s (Delton’s or Joni’s). We were totally away from family.
Joni’s Mom went to see her brother, Rich, and his family in New Hamphire for one and one half weeks during the Thanksgiving holiday, so even though we were in Florida and close to Mom, we were alone (not with family).
Ocean Resorts has become our family this winter. A big Thanksgiving diner was held in the recreation hall, so we signed up to go. It was very nice. There were about 30 people there. We all contributed to buy 2 huge turkeys and we all brought a dish to share. Delton was asked to say the blessing before we ate. We got to meet a lot of new people, we may have been without family around but we were not alone by any means.
Of coarse, Delton also got to watch football. See Delton by the window.
Mom enjoyed her visit to New Hampshire. She got to spend time with Rich, his wife Adele, and their kids, Justin and Ryan. Then they all went to New York and Mom got to stay with her sister, Connie and Connie’s family. Joni’s son, Jim and his fiancé Barbara, drove out to Aunt Connie’s from NYC and got to visit with Grandma and Rich. Mom also spent time with Adele’s family. She had a very full and busy trip.
We were able to drive Mom to and from the airport, which made things a lot easier for her and we stayed with her for 3 days after she came back.
