Thanksgiving with Granpa (or my Daddy)

Well, this is the 1st holiday without my mom. Since she has not cooked for the holidays in well over 20 yrs, I was not missing her as much as I thought I would. My dad (i.e. gramps) came down from LB and managed to have a good holiday with us. We went to my cousin Vero's house for dinner (in which I am trying to be on time now, she said she wanted us sitting down at dinner at 1 PM, I arrived at 12:15 PM, only to find that I surprised her still in her pj's and needing a shower still, Sorry about that Vero!) and Joan's for desert. I think my dad had fun, but honestly, he would have gotten so much more out of everything if he knew sign language. That way I could have signed for him, and he would have been able to participate in the conversation.

Can I suggest that to him without getting his goat? We'll see...

John went to Baja Thurs. night and should be back Monday morning. Swell coming in so fast, that they (he & Cooley) decided to NOT take the boat. Took Kit Kat, and now I miss them both.
sigh.
