Thanksgiving excursion, Part II

Well, we went back to books on CD and MP3's on CD. I did good. We made 2 stops for nature and 1 for gas.. I was able to convince her to go straight home and we left right after granddaughter Addie's birthday party...her 3rd or 4th one of the week. She is now officially 4 yrs old. She had 4 friends over and one of them wanted to sleep with her present for Addie. She was so excited about it, she didn't want to forget it. She asked if it was time from 6 a.m. till start time of 2 p.m. Addie for her part got up singing "Happy birthday to me! Happy Birthday to me!" Everyone had a grand time.

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. The first night we went to a Japanese restaurant with chairs around the grill where the "chef" performed his culinary and juggling expertise. Addie was so adamant about 'no fire' because it scared her. The chef got the message and was allowed to make a 'volcano' with onion rings, but hand to pretend it was the engine of a choo choo train to get away with it.

We stopped on the way back home in Hammond, LA. It was budget accommodationsa but not as bad as the time we stayed in one where the room numbers were put on the doors with a Magic Marker! We managed to ride the crest of the wave of returning families into Conroe ahead of the crowd. Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home. Thanking you for your support and saying so long till the next entry.
