For Thanksgiving 2007 Ernie and I and the guys drove to South Carolina to celebrate with Judi. It's funny, Judi and I had always talked about celebrating Thanksgiving together at her house after Mom and Dad were gone, but it was never to be. That year she was in the midst of chemo and so couldn't travel. I hated to leave my parents alone but they agreed that we should go and be with Judi. I don't really even remember the meal, but I remember the visit, being at her house, visiting Stumphouse Train Tunnel with the guys....
As we sat down to Thanksgiving dinner Owen screwed up his face and said in puzzlement, "who was it that had Thanksgiving with the Indians? Was it the Russians?" Judi attempted not to laugh. I'm more used to it so I just calmly said, "no, honey, it was the Pilgrims."
