Busy, busy

This is just a note to say we're still around and perkin', in spite of the lack of blogging.

We've either been on the road, or had company in our house, for the vast majority of the last week or two. This is lots of fun and is interesting, but badly interferes with my blogging time.

We drove to Michigan for our traditional Thanksgiving celebration with old friends, then home for a quick turnaround (and around-the-clock work on a Publisher project to get it ready for the printer ... a cookbook for John's mom) and then a two-day drive to see Karin and Sid and Sheela and Sunil.

John and I will be going downtown this afternoon straight from school (we'll be picking the kids up at 3) and first heading for the big Farmer's Market. We have a long list - mostly fruits and jalapeno peppers - of things to buy. Then to the hotel to meet up with the parents and out to a birthday dinner for Sheela. Wow - she's TEN!!!

The parade tomorrow, then everyone sort of scatters again, with lots of kid-related activities.

I'll do catch-up photos early next week while we're still here, and the kids will be back in school.
