Thanksgiving Plans

We had thought that we'd be having our Thanksgiving "dinner" on Wednesday night, because we had to leave by noon on Thanksgiving to drive to Dallas, which takes about eight hours. This was because MJ's Express soccer team was scheduled to play in a soccer tournament there. This had been planned for months and months, until the coach quit and a few girls were too hurt to go. It finally ended up that only 10-11 girls could go, and that was stretching them thin in such a competitive setting. So the dedicated (and stressed) team mom agreed to cancel the team's participation. When my husband heard, he started shouting, "Yubba-dubba-doo!" MJ and I felt much the same.



With two kids at home with us, there will be four human beings and four pets (three dogs and one cat) here for Thanksgiving. BJ will arrive for his favorite holiday in time to eat. (I am grateful that we don't have to say "Hello. Goodbye!" when he walks in the door on Thursday morning, since we don't have to drive to Dallas.)
is also means that at the end of the weekend, BJ will take Troy back to his home in Victoria. He's going to build a doghouse for Troy while he's home. MJ and I will miss Troy, but CB will not.
