Thanksgiving a bit early

El Amor De Familia,

I was so moved this weekend that I thought it was “blog-worthy”. My very homesick Rosi came home for the weekend. Prior to her arrival, she called her family to attempt to gather them all together at a restaurant to see them all at the same time. She was disappointed in knowing that she will, for the first time, be missing our annual family Thanksgiving Day dinner. Rosi is very familial and loves to gather with her uncles, aunts, grandparents and cousins.

Jim and Iris, God Bless them, suggested that we surprise Rosi and plan a “Pre-Thanksgiving Day” dinner/birthday party in her honor at their home. Everyone came. We had turkey, stuffing, green beans, potatoes….all the traditional Thanksgiving Day stuff. Rosi and Polito were very moved by our family’s gesture. I was moved even more!

In the words of Rosi, "Que emocion, I love you all!”

It really was a great time. Tito, Jacob & Marie came in from college and we all enjoyed seeing Polito & Rosie. Any excuse to get together, but this was a great one.
