Hi Lorne, Brad & Stephanie,
Glad you were able to get away to Beijing for a bit of a holiday and good food. Did you manage to get a bit of a Thanksgiving feast? I’m looking forward to your report on your outing to the city. Brad I hope your headaches have gone. I know they can be awful. When Michael had his heart operation he couldn’t move his leg for 6 hours and that was hard for him so I know how difficult that can be. Thanksgiving dinner today with Jodi and family. Weather is cool and rainy. After reading your blogs we have lots to be thankful for everyday. All the best and looking forward to your next post. Happy Thanksgiving. Love Doreen
