thanksgiving

Well today was Thanksgiving and we were actually going to have dinner with Gary's family. Both Alyssa and I were aprehensive about how this would go down. In fact once we both walked in, we were overwhelmed with emotions. I began to cry almost immediately to the point I left the house and stood on the front porch. I asked Alyssa later and she told me that she felt really sad and even a bit scared.

But essentially it was a wonderful day and one I didn't want to end. My BIL, Charlie's parents were there although they didnt talk to us. After they left, we all sat down in the living room, Gary, myself, my SIL Sheela, her husband Charlie, my other BIL Wayne. I really didn't want to leave. We came home with large portions of leftovers which should last a while.  The weather is cold and wet with lots of rain. I sent out my large glass jars to gather rainwater.
