Thanksgiving 2020

Happy Thanksgiving all.   We pray you are well and will continue that way.  It has been a crazy year.   But we are closer to the end of 2020, the election is over, the political ads are off the TV, it has to keep getting better.   Chris and I came through Covid well, her taste and smell is still coming back slowly but neither of us had serious side effects so we were blessed.  After quarantine we packed up and left Wisconsin,   after I had to scrape ice and snow off the car.

 We took a leisurely trip although not as much as we would like.  We took a couple of days to go to Detroit to visit MJ and John.   From there we headed south and stopped in London, Kentucky.  Hurricane Zeta was just in front of us, so we scrapped plans to go through the Carolina mountains and stayed on wide open 75 through Georgia.  Less chances of trees and scrap down on the highway.   While it started as a very rainy day it turned out fine and we made it to Cordele, Georgia.  We carried snacks and cheese to snack at night or got take out.  The hotels did a good job of cleaning and distancing, so all worked out well.   From Cordele the next day was to home in Florida.  Then unpacking all we brought and finding a place for everything, so a few days later we started relaxing!  Florida had a hot rainy fall and was that way when we arrived.   Good to keep the fires down!   November has gotten drier and cooler.  Presently around 80 with breezes, next week a major cold front and only getting to around 70.   The winter coats will be out.  We are enjoying it.   I have planted some flowers and catching up with some small landscape work.  Not many people here for the summer and with the heat the landscapers are here less often, so a few things to catch up on.  Just enough to keep busy.

Thanksgiving will be quiet, not like the old dinners with family or traveling for weekends in Michigan.  But we will have one friend over and enjoy the day.  Whatever your day is this year we hope you can count your blessings and look forward to a better time next year.
