Well this will be the first official family gathering that my father won't be at. We are all a little at "odds" on how to behave - will there be the annual poker game or is it just not the same with my dad there? Who knows - I think Dad would want every one to ante up and play the game. I'm afraid that it will be "dull as dishwater" as my mother puts it. I hope that turns around and it turns into something enjoyable for all there. Anyway, I am enjoying being here in Scottsdale and being with my family. I sure miss you dad and hope you are enjoying turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy and stuffing - the kind that your mom makes! Love and miss you.
