I hope you had a fantastic Thanksgiving (and if you don’t celebrate the American Thanksgiving holiday, I hope you had a nice Thursday. I well remember our days living in Russia where we’d eat chicken thighs for dinner while the rest of Russia went on with their lives!)

Personally, I can’t believe our epic trip to Europe is almost over! We started on May 13th in Paris, travelled France, flew to Sicily, Italy to hang out with our new grandson and his parents, and then continued the fun with a tour of the island.
