Last week we, John, Anthony and I, drove down to SoCal to celebrate Thanksgiving with my Dad and brother, John. Cousins Nicki and Gene have a huge Thanksgiving every year with family from Nicki's dad's family, Gene's family and their neighbors. Everyone brings something (or I should say, lots of somethings.) Nicki and Gene provide the turkey(s), ham(s) and drinks - everything else was brought by guests. We were lucky enough to be invited to join them this year. What a feast!

Didn't catch a photo of the turkey or the ham, but you get the drift of how much food there was. Didn't photograph all the desserts either; pies - pumpkin, apple, fruit, a merangue torts, brownies and more. We weren't hungry for a couple of days.

We then made a quick trip to look at the campus of CSU Fullerton. It's one of the schools where Anthony has applied. He said he could see himself there - a good place if he doesn't get accepted to San Francisco, San Diego or San Jose.

Then, off to see my mom. We met John Jay and Dad at Mission Lodge for a nice visit all around.

We had a nice short visit with family and Sierra Madre/Pasadena. The weather made our visit even better.

| Our "home" in Pasadena, since we can't stay with Dad and Tom Cat The Westin Pasadena |
A great place to stay, great visits with Dad and John Jay, wonderful TG dinner with loved ones and the knowledge that Mom is well cared for. There are a lot of things to be thankful for.
Thanks to everyone for a wonderful life.
