We’re headed to CT to attend a memorial service for Tom’s brother-in-law’s mother. We are so glad that we had the opportunity to spend time with Peg during family celebrations. We will miss her cheerful presence at the Thanksgiving table.
Have a lovely weekend. Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating the holiday.
