Happy Thanksgiving

Well its been a while since I posted anything.. My boys and their families were together in State College this last weekend and Aaron and family are making the long trek home in what may turn out to be the Midwest first major snowstorm. The temps have stayed above freezing and hope they do until they reach Janesville.
We spent a wonderful weekend with family beginning the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Ron, Diana, Marilee and I went to see the Radio City Rockettes Christmas show, followed up by a Thanksgiving feast at brother Chuck's house. His wife Karen made "Mom" Kings rolls and even sent some home with us! A very nice day with family and wonderful food and deserts. Friday was a very unique day as my sister in law Diana wanted to do something related to the region, so we did what we do best - EAT! We went to Jean & Judes in River Grove, IL. ALl they serve is hot dogs, fries and tamales.. and ketchup is not on the menu. We couldnt have picked a better day, the parking lot was full, creating the "gotta have this hotdog' expierence. We decided to go lightly and then drove over to see my old house in Elmwood Park and then proceeded to "johnny's" for Italian Beef and a Combo! We did enjoy a healthy meal at home that evening and can only hope that Diana and Ron enjoyed their stay as much as we enjoyed having them. I hope this finds you all safely home, (or soon to be) thankful for all we have, and you all enjoy the upcoming holiday season.
Love to all
Bill
