Dave & I are in Illinois visiting my family and friends for Thanksgiving.  We’ve had a really nice time.  The trip out here was tedious because we hit some snow in PA & OH so the trip took three hours longer than normal.  We made it safely though and have enjoyed our time here.  I finally got to see my baby niece.  She’s adorable and sweet.  My older niece is a bundle of energy, really talkative and just a joy. My brother & sister-in-law are doing a great job raising those girls, such wonderful parents.

Monday we spent the day with dear friends down in Argenta.  I always have a great time there.  Today, Dave & I ate lunch and dinner with good friends here in Peoria.  We also visited both sets of my grandparents in their respective cemeteries in Havana & Springfield.  My Springfield grandparents just received their new headstone with my grandmother’s information added.  My grandparents in Havana won’t get their headstone until after the Spring thaw so the stone can be set properly.

Tomorrow we are laying low and hanging out at my parent’s house for the most part.  Maybe we’ll also get some things fixed for Thanksgiving so there is less to do tomorrow.

Happy Thanksgiving.
