Giving thanks soon.

Thanksgiving is coming up and we will be hosting a family dinner at our house. Maggie wants to have many parties here, now that we actually have a house to host, but our original plan of having multiple summer BBQs has gone by the wayside after the events of the year.

I'm not sure if Elsy fully understands that her Gung Gung has passed away. We have not been back at their house that often now that there is no need to look after him. In addition, Paw Paw has been spending time with her various children and has not spent that much time in her own home since. Over the next month or so things will finally settle back down to routine, and we will need to start preparing for the coming winter.

We have not killed that many plants we were not expecting to. But our ceders are starting to look a little brown right now. Time to give them some water!

In addition, we were too poor to really enjoy a cone of soft ice cream when it did show up so I never built up that sense of tradition that others would share with their children.

Oh, but that was beside the point. Today I heard the ringing of a bell. This was not the sound I'm used to for an ice cream truck so I decided to investigate with Serena. As the truck drive by, I wondered to myself how such a small truck could be used to sell ice cream much less any kind of food. But then it dawned on me: this was not a food tru

Boot to the Head.

We were planning on going to the beach this morning but our plans got derailed when Serena stomped on Elsy's face and we had to wait for the bleeding to stop. It took so long that there was a chance we needed to go to the hospital. In the end, we thought it too risky to leave the house this morning lest the gusher started again, and so we set up the water table at home instead.

So it seems as if the link I had to the Polynesian Cultural Centre was flagged as a bad site. I double checked the link and, yup, I got a warning when I tried to visit it. I double checked if the link was changed and no, the search and Wikipedia still point to the same page so.. I just removed the link. We will see how the repost goes.
