Sometimes the best things come about unexpectedly. I'd been anticipating a rather boring Memorial Day weekend which only appeared to get worse when my dad invited me to visit his mother in Illinois. Then he invited my Aunt Linda and her daughter Kristen to join us and that changed everything!
Thanksgiving has always been a time for our family to get together. Each year we switch off as to who hosts the event and this year it was my dad’s turn. As things turned out, his brothers had more to be thankful for by the time the day was over.
