Well, it does, doesn’t it?\u00a0 We drove to Las Vegas to spend Thanksgiving and the weekend with our son, daughter in law, granddaughter, and grandson.\u00a0 To make the family gathering complete, our daughter Polly came with us.\u00a0 We got in Wednesday evening and headed home Monday, sans<\/em> Polly, who stayed behind in Las Vegas to look for a new job (cross your fingers, everyone).\u00a0 Of course Schatzi came along too.<\/p>\n

Polly’s staying at her brother’s house while she’s there.\u00a0 Schatzi stayed there too, sharing lots and lots of Buc’s food (I’m surprised she wanted to go home with us yesterday, since according to Donna I starve her).\u00a0 Donna and I stayed at the Tahiti Village on the south end of The Strip, a ten-minute drive from Gregory & Beth’s house.<\/p>\n

Beth cooked a lovely Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday.\u00a0 I smoked a beef brisket Saturday, with Gregory backing me up on the corn and beans.\u00a0 Saturday the girls went shopping while Gregory and I rode motorcycles (more on that in a separate post), so Saturday night was pizza night.\u00a0 Sunday (after more shopping and riding) we had pasta with our family Italian meat sauce (made by Beth).\u00a0 And here Donna and Schatzi and I are, home again in Tucson, winding down.\u00a0 I have no idea what’s for dinner tonight!<\/p>\n
