Thanksgiving!

Today is Thanksgiving - a huge holiday in US.  The roads are just gridlocked with traffic - everyone seems to go home for family gatherings.  I think it's a bigger festival than Christmas here.  The weather has caused mayhem for travellers.  The snow, rain and high winds, has been a logistical nightmare for the Airlines - planes may be able to leave but can't land!  They have Airports that are Hubs for onward flights - it's all been crazy.  We have had heavy rain and high winds but still quite warm, also mostly at night.

Today the sun is shining and not a cloud in the sky, but much cooler -  only about 74 degrees.  I am busy doing laundry and then hoping to get to the pool.  We have been invited to Clive's sister's place for ' Thanksgiving ' dinner.  We thought it might be the traditional Turkey Dinner but it's more of a Jamaican meal - Clive is very excited!  I made my stew last night - I thought it was good, but,  I think it was a struggle for Clive to eat it and find something good to say about it - he does try to be polite!

Must get on and finish chores.  The sun lounger is waiting!
