To give thanks!

Last week was a VERY busy week for us.  What with the cake on Monday, school plays and parties on Tuesday, and laundry and packing on Wednesday, I had zero time to do much of anything.

Thursday morning started off with a ton of anxiety.  Bill went to get cash via ATM, and saw that we had a $60 balance in our checking!  WTH?  I showed a considerable amount more than that in my balance.  Turns out he used the ATM a bit more than usual due to all the birthdays and forgot to tell me about it.  Errrr.  As a result, after 14 years, I am turning over the bills to him.  Too much stress.  LOLOL!!  ANYway, since the bank was closed, we could not transfer money from savings to checking, so we left with $30 in our pockets for a 4 day vacation.  Love, love, love our Mastercard.  I am sure after this weekend they love, love, love us too.  We hate to use credit, so I cringed each time I pulled it out.  Sigh.

Had a wonderful Thanksgiving with all of the family.  Tons of great food, wonderful drinks and awesome company to visit with.  It could not have gone better.

We stayed right on the beach in front of my favorite surf spot.  The surf did kick up one day and I regretted not bringing the boards, but the water is just too cold for my taste right now.  So, we shopped the Strand on Friday, ate some great seafood that evening, then Bill took the kids fishing on Saturday.  Sunday we took off and spent the day with Bill’s 94yo grandfather.  He is an amazing man.  So full of wonderful stories about our history here in Texas.  He lived it!

All in all, so very much to be thankful for. 

Some shots of our weekend.  One is of Mia and her great-grandfather.  Check out the moon in the pics of Bill and I with the kids. It was such a beautiful night!
