Holiday Host
If the day goes as planned, this afternoon I will have all three of my children and four of six grandchildren under my roof. Pa Rock gets a pre-Thanksgiving slot in the holiday rush-around, and he is tickled pink to have it!
My daughter, Molly, has flown in from Oregon with her daughter, Willow, and they will be riding down from the Kansas City area with Tim and Erin and their two, Olive and Sully. Grandson Sebastian, who moved from Oregon to Kansas City last summer, is driving himself down and bringing his bike so that he will have 'something to do' when he gets here.
Grandson Judah stayed in Oregon with his father, Scott, for the week, and Grandson Boone is in charge of Bluff Dweller's Cave this week while his bosses are away. Bluff Dwellers, near my hometown of Noel, Missouri, is one of the better known commercial caves in the Ozarks and well worth a visit. (If you see Boone while you are there, tell him his grandfather sent you!)
I'm not saying we are psyched about the visit, but we did buy new living room furniture for the occasion, and Nick has cleaned house for the past three - days and today he is cooking! Our guests will only be here one night, so we will undoubtedly be busy - if the rain stays away. Sebastian will be riding his bike, and Sully wants to go fishing - Uncle Nick's speciality - and the rest of us can get out and explore or just stay at home, sit on the new furniture, and visit!
Rosie and Gypsy are psyched, too!
Enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday - I know I will!
