Almost Thanksgiving

Rachel got home safely last night, but she and her ride had to sit in north Dallas traffic for about 3 hours. We had had a storm earlier in the afternoon that closed even the big roads. She seemed so happy to be home.

Today I went out and did stuff with Rachel--first the library, then the bank, then to the school teacher store. She wanted to buy something from every aisle, but since she was using her own money, she had to limit herself to just a few insect-related items. The checkout lady gave her her first teacher discount.

Gary was quite pleased with himself to win his first ever Ebay bid. He got an out of print piano song book of the light jazz songs for which he already has the CD.

Tomorrow we plan to spend the day with the Martins. Rachel will make green bean casserole, and I will open cans of olives, pickes, and pepperoncinis. Gary will probably do his part and fall asleep while watching the Cowboys.
