The holiday season officially starts tomorrow and thoughts turn from politics to family, the reason some of us care so much about politics in the first place.
This year on Thanksgiving my three sons will be spread out across the country. Jeff is accompanying his girlfriend to her parents' home in Virginia. My son Matt and his wife Maria will sit down with my oldest son, Terry, and assorted friends in Seattle.
My husband and I will enjoy the company of my parents, my daughter and her husband, and my three beautiful grandchildren, Sean, Grace, and Maddie. The three will delight us with their youthful spirits, their imaginative play, and their boundless energy. Sean and Grace will run upstairs and get out their favorite toys - one of which is a six foot long soft toy snake that they drag throughout the house and dangle over the upstairs banister. Maddie, who is two, will amaze us with her ability to keep up with her older siblings who love Star Wars and Harry Potter. Note in the picture her Star Wars shirt, and her two "babies," whom she has named "Harry Potter" and "Malfoy."
Happy Thanksgiving!
