Happy week! And happy Thanksgiving!
Dad took the whole week off. Because he can, I guess,
and Lainey and I just have work and school Monday and Tuesday, so we will enjoy
having a long weekend for Thanksgiving. Not to worry, though because we
will be plenty busy! Dad is leaving on a work trip Friday, so he will
miss the Macy’s parade and pulling Christmas trees from Schlegel farm for the
tree sale that starts this week. But Lainey and I will be here!
Enough about the future. Here’s what happened last
week!
Annie had her one year birthday last week! We took the
girls to Hometown Buffet to celebrate and then Dad and I attended her “home
meeting” in Hillsboro. Annie ran the meeting and she was the main speaker
there. I transcribed it to a document so that I could share it with
you. Dad actually volunteered to stand up and say a few words and between
the two of them, I (and many others) cried our eyes out! It was a very
moving experience. Never underestimate the power of people in
recovery. They are great people. And loyal people. Annie was
shining that night and she has been such a delight to live with these past many
months. You should be very proud of her!
Lainey played the trombone in the Beaverton Stake’s
production of Seussical the Musical. Dad, Annie and I went to
watch. It was fun and colorful. They did a nice job and it was
worth the trip!
Lainey is there now (Saturday) doing a matinee and then the
final performance is tonight. 
Also tonight is our Ward Harvest party. We are eating
baked potatoes. I’m bringing onions and sautéed onions, so the house
smells wonderful right now!
