Back Home in Time!

First of all, We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  we did!  I worked that morning til 10am, which put us on the road by 11am or So.  Yes I said on the road!  We drove to Indiana and made it in time for Thanksgiving Dinner!  We rolled into Evansville around 5:30pm.

This was a very Special Thanksgiving for the two of us.  First of all, It was the first Thanksgiving I have enjoyed “back home” since I moved to Missouri in 1989.  The Other Special Touch was that Krista’s Father, Wendall joined us for the Feast at My Sisters house.

Wendall Chapman & Fred Powell

I will take the liberty to speak for both of us, that the long drive was quickly forgotten when we all came together for that meal.  The only thing that could have made it better is if Nick, Kate, Mark, Shelby and Shariden could have been with us.   The McFerren  kids were in Texas visiting with Family and Shelby and Shariden spent the day with family on their mothers side.

Krista knows how to utilize her time!  While we were in town, she took care of alot family matters.  I enjoyed the time visiting with Mom and Dad.  We did have a chance to break away together and do a little shopping on Saturday.

Sunday meant time to leave.  It came too fast!  However the trip home was anything But Fast!!!  It took a an extra Three hours to make the Trip!!!  The traffic around St. Louis was terrible.  Not Much better between there and Columbia, Missouri.  Anyway,  We are back to our Daily grind(s) already planning/anticipating our next visit back home.

Thanks for checking up on us!
