java, that sounds like an excellent staycation, and with bonus F2Fs!

Pix, I know your found family and friends Thanksgivings must be so lovely and appreciated--awesome of you guys to do that.

I am on my last day here at my sister's--just packing up now. It's been super low key and fun, and DH has gotten more family time with his family than I've ever seen him do, and, while exhausting, I think he really enjoyed it. I spent some time with them, too, and that was nice.

My deepest condolences to you and your family for the loss of your mother, Nilly. May her memory bring you comfort.
