Everyone we will have Thanksgiving dinner at my house on Friday November23rd. I plan to eat about 6:00 p.m. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone.

Chesty is going to have a bronchoscopy tomorrow. Poor thing, he's pooped from being in the clinic all afternoon and is sacked out on the sofa beside me.

Keith is out of town which brings back all the memories of having the boys in the ER or Dr's offices while he was traveling.

Chesty has an appt. tomorrow at the university to have his *breathing* issues evaluated. He's had problems all along and the vet in GA told me it was probably a collapsing trachea but it's gotten worse and the vet here is referring him for evaluation. I taped one of his episodes today so I can show the vet. Isn't he pathetic?

Well that's good news Stephen...and I'm sure Janet is thrilled! I know it may not be all that exciting, but it is safe, and the hours are good....gives you more time with Fiona!

We will be having a very quiet Thanksgiving here, just us. Hopefully it'll cool down by then. We had a taste yesterday, but the temps and humidity are creeping back up. They say that in a couple weeks , we'll be into normal temps for the season...but they've been saying that for weeks now, and I'm tired of being hot! Don't want cold...just 75-80 with low humidity...

Can't wait to see everyone in December!

Well, I've finally been transferred out of Patrol and I'm in a nice, cushy Admin job now. Granted, it's not the assignment that I wanted, but I was at the top of a short list of qualified (technical qualifications) of Sergeants so here I am. I've been sentenced to be the commander of the Records unit...ughhh. At least it's M-F, 8-5 (or close to that), and I have an unmarked car now. I also don't have to work holidays anymore. So here I am, a police supervisor doing an office manager's job. Oh well.

We will be having our Thanksgiving here. I just am not absolutely sure what day yet. Pat will let me know this weekend if they can come and then I will decided on the day and let everyone know. I'm trying to choose the day that would work for the most people.

Mom emailed me that Pat, Marcie and the kids, Patrick and Sean are attending the reunion so I've added their names.

How about Brian and Erin? Do you two plan to attend?

We'll be here in Minneapolis for Thanksgiving but we're planning a trip to Georgia the early part of that week. We'll be staying at the Ritz the Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and will fly home the day before Thanksgiving. We're looking forward to visiting with Adam and Chris, and Becky plan to join us for dinner one night.

That's real pretty! I'll take mine in maroon please....pink just isn't me.

Hi all !!! Glad to here everyone is doing well.

What's the plan for Thanksgiving? Anyone have any ideas?

Happy Birthday to all the October babies!

Congratulations on your nomination Adam...very impressive.

Hi everyone, I had a real nice visit with John and Nancy last week and then today Dot and Talbert came for a visit for today. I enjoyed seeing them.

Adam I'm proud of you. It was an honor to get nominated.

Chris I believe you like to paint. I'll remember that when I need something painted. It was good to hear from you.

You are welcome Mary. You always do so much for me I'm happy when I can help you with something.

Chris, Dad's freaking out about the paint job and I have to say I'm not too impressed either. Is it pink?? Did you sponge that wall behind the bed? I'm pretty sure your rental agreement states you have to have paint color pre-approved!

What was wrong with all the neutral tones on the walls?? You and Becky should visit Debbie - she has lots of bold color on her walls too.

My sweet Chloe was 1 year old yesterday!
And she spent her day taking care of Harry.

She was more fascinated with the grass than the pumpkins. At one point she was crawling very fast after a young boy who had caught her attention. So it begins! :)

Hello all, I just got caught up on reading the blog. Adam that's great and I hope you win.

John and Nancy left this morning. We had a real nice visit. It was great to see them. We didn't do a great deal just visited. We did go to Williamsburg one day and went out to eat also.

Chesty does look cute Mary. The pictures are nice from you trip. IT reminds me of when we go to Bob and Frances seeing the Freighters and also the shore lines.

You could volunteer somewhere, do anything but insult that poor dog like that.

Poor Chesty.

I can't believe you made that poor little dog dress up like that! Look at the look on his face...poor Chesty!

But he does look really cute! LOL
