I'm going through withdrawal this morning; in fact, I started this last night while trying to go to sleep and thinking about not seeing Kiwi for three days. She's at her Grandma Tibbs', and we're hoping she gets invited back. Grandma Tibbs loves Kiwi, and Kiwi loves Grandma Tibbs but sometimes too enthusiastically.
It was hard to say good bye to her, but Barbara and Laurie made it easy when they invited her to the barn to do her "work" alongside them. In her case, it's inspecting every knook and cranny of the barn while they feed horses or clean stalls. And, of course, when nobody's looking, there are plenty of those horse apples to carry around.
While Kevin and Joyce, Jim, Barbara, Laurie, Mother and Kiwi dine at Colburn, we'll be in Seattle, checking out that turkey with Annie, Debbie, Rachel and her German friend, . Thanks to Connie and Thane, our animals at the Sandpoint farm will have plenty of tender loving care. We feel so fortunate to have them help us whenever we take off.
With luck, we'll find the best route over the mountains today and then we'll be doing our best to cheer Annie up. Her Thanksgiving euphoria went a little sour last night when the radiator in her car went bonkers. Turns out it will get a new radiator today for $600, but we give thanks that she was able to get it somewhere to have it repaired and that she got home safely.
To all friends and family and loyal blog readers, whom I may not know, we wish you the happiest of turkey days wherever you'll be celebrating. I'll be taking my laptop along so will plan to post tomorrow before the great holiday cooking and feasting begins.
Happy Thanksgiving!
P.S. An update on Kiwi. Mother called a few minutes ago to let me know that Kiwi got her up at 5 a.m. sharp. She says Kiwi's claws need to be clipped and that Kiwi's nose is very wet. She also says the cats are insulted but that she and Kiwi get along just fine.
