Thanksgiving in Wausau

OK--admittedly posting a Thanksgiving message in late August the following year is a little on the slow side. But I'm trying to catch up with this blog and its the place to start. My mom and brother made an adventurous trip to central Wisconsin and spent a week here over the Thanksgiving holidays. For my mom it was a return visit (and ultimately her last) and my brother's first.

The two intrepid travels left Indiana via Amtrack train and went to Union Station in Chicago. There they boarded a VanGalder bus and headed to Madison where I met them on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. It was a long trip for my mom who was pretty tired and I recall she slept well that night. Over the next few days I was back and forth from work to home while they hung out at my place. My brother (Mike) was taken with our sweet way of life up here and was about ready to sell his house and move north.

Thanksgiving Day was a day of lots of cooking and good food. It was the first time the three of us were together in many years. Jourdan had gone back to Indiana and wasn't able to be here. We were up early preparing food and by late afternoon things were ready and we were starved. These pictures give you a little idea of what the day was like.
