Homecoming

This year the Thanksgiving Holiday was a bitter sweet time for us. We loved being able to come home (Dad says that Portland is our home now not Kearney but in my heart Kearney is still home). It was so special to see everyone.

Wednesday we went to Topeka where we had dinner with Grandma Marcell. She made pork chops and just for me crappie (fish- she knows that I love crappie). We also visited Grandpa and Grandma Fisher. Grandma's cancer is no longer in remission. She started chemo on December 3rd. Please remember her in your prayers.

On Thanksgiving Day Dad, Nellie and I traveled to St. Mary's to have dinner at Grandma G and Bud's house. The food was good but the best part was seeing Mom, Bud, Janet, Dylan, Paul, Mindy, Amber and Kensie. We were sorry that Matt and his family were not there but know they tried to be. Matt's car broke down in Marshall, Missouri on the way to St. Mary's.

On Saturday we had Thanksgiving with Nellie, Becky, Joe, Haydn, Aaron, Hannah, Alyssa, Connor, Zayne, Gabe, Jerren, Taylor and Brody at our house. As usual we took a goofy family picture ( Joe looks forward to that every holiday LOL). My favorite thing to do with family all together is to listen and watch everyone having fun. We missed Rachel, Dean, Caleb and Camber but appreciate the sacrifice they made to be home for our annual Halloween Party.

Wednesday before leaving town I was able to go to Connor's school for "Grandparents and Goodies Day". He was very happy to see me and me him. Afterwards on the way home I cried (sorry you had to receive the blubbering phone call, Becky). Knowing that I will  no longer be able to go to the grandchildren's programs and activities is hard to accept.
