For Thanksgiving weekend, we left the bustle of city life, that we’re still adjusting to, and went — to another city! Once again, we were welcomed at the Mitchell family gathering in Los Angeles, which spared Bruce travel home during busy mid-term deadlines. It’s only our second time at this annual tradition, so we’re still very much the newbies, but we marvel at how long a history we have with this great gang.
Dave & Sean met at work in 1988(!), Sean & Jenny were at our wedding in 1990, and we reminisced with Sean & Elizabeth about our pre-kid adventures. Carol has always been welcoming and wise, and George, with lovely wife Regina, is delightful to catch up with. Naturally, we ate well, Bruce got to reconnect with the younger generation, and we watched the sun go down over the Pacific as we sorted out the world’s woes. We are thankful for long-term friends, extended families, and even cities.
