Happy Anniversary and Thanksgiving

Hello all,
After almost three weeks in the hospital, Betsy came home on November 18th with a couple stents in duodenum. That seems to have helped with her chronic nausea, but her ability to eat is greatly diminished. Pain is still an issue, but we're dealing with that.

On November 24th Betsy and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. For a whole lot of reasons we weren't able to return to St Martin where we honeymooned. When I asked Betsy a couple of months ago what would be an acceptable plan B , she said she would go for Happy Hour in the family room of the new home.

While the medical team was doing their thing, the whole construction team stepped up their efforts to make that happen. This past Wednesday the 24th, the plumber, the electrician, the painter, the HVAC guys and trim crew finished construction to the point that I could declare things "DONE". Here's some updated pictures.

Sure, there's a myriad of little things to do before we occupy the place, but that evening Betsy enjoyed wine and cheese in her new home's family room!

But wait, there's more, the next day, Thanksgiving, Kevin and Andrew joined us at "A shore Thing". We had planned to do Thanksgiving dinner at the carriage house. I figured I'd do the turkey on the grill, and the we'd use the toaster oven and microwave for the other stuff.

Instead we did this .

Now that the place is built Betsy needs to live there. Please keep her in your prayers.
