Thanksgiving at Brendas

After eight hours on airplanes, we arrived at Sitka, we think that the island has risen, because when we landed the pilot tried to land two feet lower, It was really hard. Kent met us at the airport whisked us to a fine dining establishment, The Golden Arches, and then to Brenda's house. We tried to beat her there, but she got home before us. But that turned out to be good, when we got there she was in the shower, Cassie was surprised, but didn't scream, Arnold, (much like Paul and Be), looked up from his video game said hi and paused it, so we sat down at her table ate our gourmet dinner and waited for her. OMG, OMG! what are you doing here? many tears, mostly Brenda's, and some from Lori, none from Gary or Mike, at least not yet. After much talking and laughing and more tears, from Brenda, and a great round of Cranium, which the boys won, we decided it was time to sleep. This morning Brenda is making breakfast, it is 7 and still dark. Happy Thanksgiving!

You have heard of dancing bear, well this is dancing turkey carcass, the other half is getting a garlic and butter rub down, and a trip to the crock pot, mmmmm smells good. Lots of people in town knew that we were coming, except for Brenda, and there has been several friends coming around and bring extra food, just in case. Thanks to all of Brendas friends and coworkers.
We made it to the Totem Park for the much needed picture of the four of us with "The Totem" mother nature obliged today, with a weather forcast of 90 % of rain, it didn't, we even had some sunshine for picture taking.
