Time of Thanks

I can't believe it is almost Thanksgiving, which leads to Christmas, and finally the new year. Wow! It seems that time is just speeding by. That's ok...only 535 days until I'm eligble for retirement.

This week Mom and Dad West drove to Dallas to visit Lloyd and Nancy, on to Murfreesboro to visit Darrell and stopping in Champaign to have dinner with Brent and Amanda. That was more than 2000 miles in 5 days! They are amazing, or crazy...not sure which! HA! Mom West had surgery a couple of weeks ago and is still recovering. In truth I hope the trip wasn't too hard on either one of them.

I went to FLorida to visit family last week. Dianna and her fiance, Jonathan picked me up from the airport in Fort Meyers and we drove to Marco Island where sister Libby and her family were staying. We had a couple of great days on Marco Island before heading for Venice. We stopped to visit Mom and Dad Beirne and both look really great! Finally we met up with Mitzi Pape at Dianna's house. We shopped, ate and went for spa services...the perfect long weekend!

Next week is thanksgiving and Darrell is suppose to come to Dallas. We are planning on having dinner with Lloyd and Nancy and their family. I'm thankful for all of my family and friends for their love and support and most of all, for helping me to find balance in my life. Happy Thanksgiving!
