After over a week away, we're back at home in Duck. We had a great time over the Thanksgiving weekend, first visiting with all the Wootens at Bobby & Kathy Johnson's house on Lake Wateree in SC. David, Susan and Sarah and Rachel, Jenni, Sean, Jantaporn and Phoenix were there from Wednesday until Saturday, Kevin, Lisa and Brycen came up on Thursday and Saturday, and I stayed until Monday. Hilda left on Saturday morning with our kids and went to Dillon to visit with her brothers and sister and their families. Complicated enough? There's more. I left Kathy's on Monday and went to Charlotte for a tax seminar and picked Hilda up in Dillon on Wednesday night and we returned home on Thursday. Whew!
Our visits to Wateree are always lots of fun, with good food and a lot of laughing. This was Phoenix's first experience with his extended family since he was tiny, and he enjoyed himself immensely. Brycen, of course is in love with Sarah and Rachel, so their challenge was to avoid being permanent baby sitters. They're pretty skilled at that, but did spend lots of quality time with him. All of them are really growing up fast.
Hilda's visit to Dillon was really enjoyable for her too, she got to visit with her aunt Joyce, as well as her brothers, and spent lots of time with sister Cecelia. Sean, Jantaporn, Jenni and I got to visit with all of them for a couple of hours on Wednesday on the way down. Lot's of fun there too.
My tax seminar was pretty good. I usually attend seminars put on by a firm I have been using for continuing ed for many years, and their sessions are always outstanding. I have to admit, though, that I'd really rather be home than staying in a hotel alone and attending CPE classes. I guess we just have to do some things that we'd prefer not to do.
When we got home, we discovered that we didn't have a home phone or an e-mail address that worked, so we didn't have very many messages to deal with. Who knows how many we missed. We now have both of those situations fixed. The e-mail took a little figuring out, but the phone line was just a matter of waiting for the phone guy. Phone lines take a pretty good beating in our salt-laden atmosphere and have to be repaired fairly often.
