A Good Thanksgiving

Sarah came on Wednesday evening and was ready for the 98th Cincinnati Thanksgiving Day race in the morning. She was one of 10,500 participants in the 10K race and finished with her best-ever time for a 10K. The race starts and ends in Paul Brown stadium, where the Bengals play, and goes over three bridges. She reported that it was a nice race, and by afternoon the chip times were posted online. Just in case you're wondering, the newspaper reported that there were 33 participants the first year.

There was a great meal, late because the turkey just wouldn't get to the magic temperature, but worth the wait,

and now there is strategizing as Janet, Sarah, and Holly comb the newspaper ads planning the Friday shopping trip. I'm not a shopper, so I'll be snoozing when they roll out around 3 a.m. Other years the shopping trip was in Lexington, so this year requires more planning. Holly lives in the area now, too, so she knows where the favorite stores are.

What a great day - I hope yours was too.
