Today was the quiet before the storm a.k.a. Thanksgiving. We had a lunch with Dad and Stef at our favorite tea house. It was so relaxing. We started the morning at Dad and Stephanie's hotel. Jeff and Dad played Cribbage as usual. Stef and I chatted. Then, the four of us rode over to the tea house and we were seated at my favorite table.
We spent nearly two hours at lunch and moseying around the import part of the shop. Right after lunch we returned to the hotel. Dad ans Stef were gracious enough to allow Bean and Diz swim while we chatted. We watched the boys play in the pool for awhile. Dad started feeling a bit sleepy I think, and his eyes were burning from the chlorine so he and Jeff retired to the lobby to play more Cribbage; leaving us girls to mind the boys and chat. It is a fond memory. Stef held Donovan and we watched Diz's confidence grow and Beans social skills develop as he started playing with another boy about his age. All in all it was a pleasant afternoon.
Dad and Stef then invited everyone to dinner. Amy was uncertain that she would be able to attend but make it just in time. Neil had a late patient so was unable to join us. So the 9 of us descended upon Ruby Tuesday's. It was nice to chat and not cook before Thanksgiving which would prove a 7 hour labor of love. Our heartfelt thanks!
