It's Thanksgiving and the Whitlock family has been blessed this year. Several days ago Theresa started getting ready for Thanksgiving. This included new exterior doors, having the reception room and hallways in the studio painted, new light fixtures for the kitchen and livingroom, painting the livingroom and hauling off several loads to the dump, plus she gave several loads of useable items to Mr Hall. Mr Hall works with several local churches that provide things to those that need it. While the above list seems short we have worked really hard to get everything done.
Jason and his girlfriend came in from Lexington, Natalie and her family came in from Wilmington, NC. We enjoyed meeting Jason's girlfriend Ashley, she seems like a truly great person. Jason cooked a great Thanksgiving dinner for us yesterday. We will be having dinner with the Whitlock family this afternoon and are looking forward to an enjoyable time.
Our Thanksgiving will be complete when they return home safely.
Natalie and the family will be moving to Townsville, Australie in Jan of 2010. She has gotten a really good job at James Cook University. While teaching there she will also work on her Phd. I can see how excited she is. This is a major move for them. Townsville is in the hot northeast corner of Aussie. It will mean that Theresa and me won't get to see them but once a year, but we understand what this move means to them.
We hope that everyone has a Thanksgiving with as much love and joy that we are having.
Bill
