'Night, Jewel. The four days over Thanksgiving aren't with the children, they're with friends in NYC. Each night with different friends, so driving back upstate seemed a bit much, and there's lots to do in the city. Thanksgiving will be a group of good friends getting together in Battery Park City, overlooking, directly into the site, Ground Zero. We each bring part of the meal, the hostess of course doing the turkey. One contribution sounds like the best thing I ever heard of: chestnut custard. You better believe I'll get the recipe if it's good, and the one who's bring that is a good cook and she says it IS the best thing on earth. We have a lot to be thankful for this year. The family is in Seattle. But Christmas with the children will be in California with N's brothers and their kids, 18 mos to 14. We fly into SF airport on the 20th of Dec. In the last two days in between posting and errands, I packed and, today, mailed a box containing just under the maximum poundage of presents to send out, 70 pounds. Every present wrapped and labeled with a name. I am in awe of the accomplishment! And we got a projector for the children that wasn't even included. They can draw little cartoons 4 inches by 4 inches and the projector will show them, in color, on a wall or a large pad if tracing is desired, 40 inches square. We are going to have cartoon and comic strip contests. Some planned categories: ~Best comic strip by a very very young person ~Best color-scheme in a comic strip ~Most frightening comic strip ~Most comical comic strip ~Best comic strip featuring parents ~Most artistic comic strip ~Comic strip that tells the story from some book most accurately; the funniest; the silliest, etc. You get the idea. It's a big, hilarious family, the N family, when it gets together. The children are all wonderful, and none of them are TV heads.
