FAMILY THANKSGIVING

After school this afternoon, mom and Mimi took Butch over to the school yard to play for a while. All of Mimi's friends had stuff to do before Thanksgiving so they were busy which in a way was good. Mom and Mimi spent the time playing at the schoolyard by themselves. As usual Butch was a hit with the kids at the school. After playing on the field for a while we walked over to where the kindergartener's have their playground and we saw Ms. Hinami (Mimi's school music teacher) and talked for a while. Mimi introduced her to Butch. Ms. Hinami says that when school starts again after the holiday, Mimi could play some songs she has practiced on the piano for her friends at school. How about that?

This evening mom and Mimi are planning to head over to the South Center Mall to have a Pre-Thanksgiving dinner with dad at the Rainforest Cafe. Of course we will have to stop at Border's Bookstore. That is always a must for us.

Tomorrow Halle and her family will stop by to hang out with us for lunch as they too do not have any family here in Washington, then around 4:00 we will head out to grandma's for a delicious Thanksgiving dinner.

FOG FREEZE

Fog freeze is something that mom has learned about the other night on King 5 news. Anyone ever hear of it??? According to the news it happens when the weather gets so cold that the street pavement freezes and when the fog touches the street pavement, something known as "black ice" forms. Black ice is when the ice on the street is clear and you cannot see it, but once your car hits the black ice it can skid and sometimes skid off the road into the ditch which is something that has happened to dad many years ago. For the past couple of days there has been a fog freeze warning. In fact this morning it looked as if it had snowed but instead it was frost on the way to school. Butch came along for the walk and boy is he a hit with the school kids and he is loving it too.
