My Feet Is the Only Carriage…
… so I’ve got to push on through.
Coming back to reality today was difficult. I had a really good, relaxing weekend, which always makes things a little bit worse. We went to my parents’ for Thanksgiving. It was a smaller Thanksgiving than we have had for the past couple years (only one set of aunts, uncles, and cousins came) but it was still really fun.
Then for the rest of the weekend, we went to PA to spend some time with the Architect’s fam. We had a really busy day on Saturday. In the morning, we went shooting with the Architect’s cousins and uncle (Fun Cheshire Fact #237: Yes, I know how to shoot a gun and I enjoy target practice). I got to shoot a few different things that I had never shot before including a few big guns.
We also had lunch with the Architect’s grandfather. I had of course met him several times but he seems to be pretty quiet in crowds, even small crowds of family so I really hadn’t ever gotten to talk to him too much. We had a really nice visit with him and it was nice to get to talk to him a little bit more.
We also took the requisite trip to Hershey Park to see Christmas lights (and reindeer). We got a few Christmas ornaments although we aren’t putting our tree up until I finish finals, which I probably should be working on instead of typing this. Oops. What can I say though? I missed Xanga.
How was your holiday?

Sounds like a good weekend!
Glad you had a good Thanksgiving with the family.
Glad you had a wonderful holiday weekend
.
I am glad you were able to spend time with the architect’s grandfather. That was wonderful Meg. I am sure he appreciated that very much. You are such a sensitive and caring person.
My son came down here. The day after Thanksgiving was the Eid and so it was a double joy for me to have him home.
glad you have a good weekend. mine was boring..nothing to talk about haha.
welcome back to xanga!! lol happy belated thanksgiving. =)
Chesire fact noted for future reference- and serves as a reminder not to overindulge in teasing said Chesire.
Sounds like you had a nice cozy Thanksgiving dinner. =)
RYC: ‘Under the Dome’ is a 1000 pages. It’s about a small town in Maine that for an unknown reason is suddenly put under a dome. Can’t dig under it or fly over it. What happens to all the people inside – and there are some well written ‘bad’ guys. Who has secrets they don’t want to get out? What happens to the eco-system. I enjoyed the book, but I’m a King fan.
I saw King on GMA the day the book came out. He talked about the story being a microcosm of what could happen to earth…
Xanga misses you too. We got some xanga meet planning to do!
Finals, finals, finals… always so much fun. Good luck with those.
tell me you had some yummy chocolate in Hershey!!! Glad you had a nice weekend…
My holiday was rather good for the most part… sure attending a dear friend’s services before wasn’t what I planned (course going home this year at all, let alone a month after my last visit was not expected). Got to see several family members I haven’t seen in years including my dad’s biological parents and my Uncle Bob (mom’s brother who I hadn’t seen since 2004). Lots of food, fun and relaxation.
