Don't give up on the snow geese, Auralie. A number of years ago I looked out at our farm pond, and there, on the berm I saw a "blue goose" color morph of the snow goose. It lingered for three days, then went on its way. I treasure the memory.

Hope every one is doing better now, both in health and storm recovery.
Been up to my ears editing the "member news" section of the Army Nurse
Corps Association quarterly newsletter. Just sent in the last of it.
Free at last! Want to wish all a very Happy Thanksgiving. (I did
Thanksgiving dinner last week for my daughter from LA, who wanted to
take advantage of cheaper airfare, so we will go out tomorrow.
Normally, I hate eating out on holidays, but no way am I cooking
another turkey.)

Chet was doing well until Sunday when he had a bit of relapse. We've seen 
a
couple of doctors and they don't find anything - just say be careful and it 
will
take time. He still uses the walker and can't go down the stairs to his 
office.
Oh well.  I know others have much worse things to worry about.
Here's wishing everyone a blessed Thanksgiving. Neighbors have invited us, and though I've offered, she says don't bring anything. For many years I 
made
great Thanksgiving dinners - sometimes for as many as 24 people. Then at 
some
point all our kids had grown up and all the godchildren were married and 
wanted
to have their own family Thanksgivings, and I agreed that they should, but 
we were
left without a gathering. At that point we started going to Chincoteague, 
Va. for
Thanksgiving, and did that for 20 or so years. Then three or four years 
ago, Chet
had one of his spells, and I was frightened of being off down there with no 
help, so
we haven't been back. I really miss it. I used to love, especially our 
stop on the
way at Bombay Hook, Del. where we would see literally thousands of snow 
geese.
We have a pair of Mallards on our pond these days, but I really long to see 
those
snow geese.  Don't think that will happen.

Again, Happy Thanksgiving1

Auralie
