For those interested in knowing what's going on in our family life, a majority of this Thanksgiving weekend was spent visiting my relatives (or driving to and from those visits).
My grandparents came down to Florida from Michigan, bringing two of my uncles and an aunt with them. They arrived the evening of Thanksgiving. I found out that evening that my uncle Stuart, my mom's brother, had passed away the week before. (Apparently with everything going on lately, everyone assumed I had heard from someone.) He was a smoker, and I believe he got cancer in the throat or lungs. He was just recently diagnosed with it... just earlier this month or late last month if I remember correctly.
Half of Friday was spent working with my dad and uncles, trying to help finish a job so that my dad could get paid.
On Saturday we had to go to the vet's office because a cat that we recently had spayed was splitting at the point of incision. Once that was checked out, we drove back home and then back out to visit the family again. That night, my (Great) Aunt Dawn and Uncle Joe arrived, but only stayed for a short time that night before heading out to a hotel.
Upon request of my mother and grandfather, we all returned Sunday morning and attended the church service. Unfortunately my mom was not feeling well enough to join us at that service. She was asleep when we went back to their house after service. We did get some nice family pictures taken before everyone had to leave though. Grandma and Grandpa had to head back today, but Aunt Dawn and Uncle Joe are staying for a few days or so.
