This Weeks Update [11/30/14] - Lots to be Thankful For

[The Weekly Update is an email that was started in the fall of 2010 to keep family and friends informed of my medical condition and has continued as a review of family activities.  Written by Zelma and edited by Steve. Working on adding past issues to the blog.]

Hi All,

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!  We enjoyed ours.  Roger and Becky came to visit for several days and Becky, Steve, and I enjoyed making some old favorite recipes and added some new ones to our favorites list.  We enjoyed traditional wild turkey on Thanksgiving (courtesy of Roger's hunting trip) and Friday we had a progressive appetizer dinner where we spent the afternoon making [and eating] a series of munchies.  :-)

It was nice to have Matthew home from school, but he was working most of the time on end-of-semester assignments (he apparently has the joy this semester of many professors assigning 1/2 the work for the semester in the last 3 weeks).

We missed seeing Mike, Sarah, and Olivia because Mike had to work the holiday.  Sarah has been keeping Grandpa up to date - including Olivia's latest accomplishment of walking.  I think Sarah and Mike better savor the last few days they have before Olivia is fully mobile and running around the house.

We spent more time cooking this week than biking so miles for the week are 25, miles for 2014 are 2,989, and total miles are 11,989.

Take care,

Zelma
