to Thanksgiving at their home may-be twice in all the years we’ve lived here. Now??? I think my S-I-L and brother to my husband want to make up lost time. My husband isn’t here anymore to enjoy them, so I do feel kinda funny going to there home when it’s only me. They did suggest we meet for dinner, and now because it's darker earlier in the day, every Wednesday for a later lunch, about 2:00ish. So I am seeing them every week. Just wish my husband was here too. I miss him so much.
