I'm so happy you chose to return home for Thanksgiving this year! I realize you said you can deal with a little excursion, so I need to ensure we capitalize on it. I'm suspecting as much far this:

After your flight gets in at 11 p.m. on Wednesday night (you're certain you can't get a prior flight?), we need to take you to the new taco place that opened around. I realize you live in L.A. what's more, there are very great tacos there, however this new spot close to the Nordstrom Rack (the great one where I got you that Fila coat once, not the awful one with the smell) will take your breath away. Father cherishes their beans! I don't recall what the café is called, however I bet in the event that we simply drive that overall way just a little, we'll track down it.

Presently, for Thanksgiving Day, we have a great deal of cooking to do and I had opportunity and energy to begin preparing by any means, so we'll need to keep things straightforward. To begin with, breakfast at the Flapjack Royal residence — recall the amount you used to cherish their M&M hotcakes? They're under new administration now and, truly, it's not as great, but rather it's as yet worth coming by even to perceive how long the line to get a table is.

After breakfast, I guaranteed Dana we'd join her for the Eat Jog 5K. I let you know what has been going on with Dana's brother by marriage, correct? She actually needs this. Remember to pack your running shoes this time!

Then, at that point, while I get everything rolling on the pies, you can at last assist me with digitizing all the photograph collections and go through those crates of your stuff from secondary school. I would have rather not tossed out your old math notes in the event that you wanted them!

Whenever that is settled up, we ought to truly visit Nana, who simply isn't going's place to our home for supper. This could be her last Thanksgiving, so we ought to essentially come by! It's just a four

hour drive toward every path.

Coming back, we can take a little diversion over to the professional flowerbed. They're doing an entire occasion light show thing. It doesn't really begin till December first, however you said you can't remain that long (you're certain you can't change your flight?), so we can simply watch the folks fold the lights over the trees and envision what it will resemble.

Every one of the cousins are adults with their own family commitments now, yet you come to town so inconsistently that everybody has chosen to swing by to see you at arbitrary stretches over the course of the evening, so we will not really plunk down to eat until 6 p.m. — yet that is O.K. since the turkey won't be prepared till eight. Fortunately, I got us another 5,000 piece jigsaw puzzle to do while we pause. I really got it utilized from that congregation transfer deal where I found those extraordinary snow pants, so it very well may be feeling the loss of a couple of pieces, yet that implies we'll have the option to complete it significantly quicker!

After we're finished gobbling and tidying up, we can go for a stroll over to Wimbledon Drive to check whether they've put their Christmas improvements up, then perhaps go purchase a tree ourselves so you don't pass up the tree managing experience. You're certain you can't make it for Christmas, as well?

To go out that evening to see a few lifelong companions from secondary school, I will not be annoyed. Yet additionally go ahead and welcome them to drop by the house! Did you had at least some idea that Jeremy Brandstetter just purchased a put over on Wimbledon? Should find real success. Both of you ought to reconnect!

Yet, attempt to get to bed early on the grounds that you said your flight is at 6 a.m. (you're certain you can't move it later?) and we ought to presumably come around Nana's again en route to the air terminal. It very well may be her last the shopping extravaganza following Thanksgiving, you know.

In any case, these are only a few thoughts. Glad to add more!

I'm so eager to see you!!! Kindly call me when you've gotten an opportunity to peruse this single, 700 word text. I won't reply.

Love,

Mother ♦
