The paper today carried about ten pounds of flyers for sales tomorrow. We are stratergizing our plan of attack. Toys R Us opens at 10 tonight; Macy's at 4am tomorrow; Sears at 5am. Saks doesn't open until 8am (slackers).
But that's not really the news. Grandma is here. We spoke with Joe in Aleppo Syria yesterday and Annie in Beijing today, both courtesy of Skype. Smaller world. Joe is heading to Istanbul the day after Thanksgiving, and Annie is planning her Thanksgiving dinner for Sunday (she had to work today).
We went up to NJ on Saturday and had our tailgate party with Grandma at Meadow Lakes before heading over to Princeton for a football game with Peter. We watched with Peter, that is, although I thiknk he could have helped the Princeton team. It was tied for a while. But not at the end. 31-0. Ouch.
After the game we headed back to over Pennington to chill at Peter and Janet's house. We saw Johanna and her new dog, Molly. Our faith in the current state of college undergrads was restored with a thoroughly delightful "Triangle" show, which we took in after dinner at the old Rusty Scupper.
Sunday we packed up the car and returned to Maryland with Grandma. It's been a quiet week, with lots of trips to the grocery store. We did have dinner on Monday evening with Jeffrey and Melodie, and Margaret and her friend James. We heard the latest on wedding plans.
We spoke with Andrew and David as well, who filled us in on their Thanksgiving plans. Lots of family visitors they are expecting.
Hey! I almost forgot! The biggest news is the Bengals are finally playing on Thanksgiving. I can picture you all, sated with turkey and enjoying the Terrell and Ochocinco show!
Love from down here!
