Arrived in Auburn MA last night about 10:30p. It was a smooth flight from Jacksonville FL to Boston MA. The weather was 34 degrees and the was frost on the pumpkin this morning. It is great being here with Allen and Lisa. Iam lookinf forward to spending the week with them. I slept in till 0745a this morning; and my son and I were on the road doing grocery shopping by 0930a for several things that I like to eat and the last few things for Thanksgiving. The weather all this week is going to be sunny an 55 during the day. Everyone have a great weekend.

 

come on Vyk, it got warm after a while.

I'll be picking up my Mom to bring her over for some turkey.
Might have her stay over to watch the game. Pats are on at 8:30 PM

 

Found out this AM there is a Thanksgiving day Zumba class. I will be there to work off some calories before dinner. We'll serve dinner around 2:00. The son and his family will stay awhile, and then give us a rest. They will be back around 7:00 dropping the kids off for an overnight. My daughter in law does the Black Friday shopping. My son may go with her, though he needs to be at work around 9:00 A.M.

Pancakes at Grandma's on Friday AM.

 

working, since planes keep flying

 

Thanksgiving is always my wife's favorite holiday. We usually stay here and she goes wild in the kitchen. She always forgets that she's cooking for 3, so we usually end up with enough food for 8. We almost always end up inviting my son's friends to come over and have something to eat. It's probably the only time I'm grateful that late teens and early 20's eat a lot

 

Only 8 at our house this year. That is pretty small for us.

 

The kids and I spent the day at the north end of Boston; visiting Paul Revere House, Old North Church,Old State House, and walking around the streets enjoying the area. From there we has a fantasitic supper at Cantina Italia. Later we enjoyed the Christmas light at Faniel Hall with Peppermint Latte. It does but one in the Christmas spirit.

 

Boston is nice to walk around. We did the same thing in the North End last time we were there. Ate at Trattoria Il Panino. Really, really good. I had researched restaurants before we went. There are so many there. Also had to pay a visit to Mike's Pastries - famous place on Hanover St. Yummy...

Anyhoo, stopping at the store for a pie on the way home. Wasn't enough room for a razzleberry in the freezer. So will bake it tonight. If they are out of that one, I'll get pumpkin. I am *so* glad I'm not spending any time traveling this holiday.
