Dave’s sister, Debbie, had given us some maple syrup made by her neighbor in Wisconsin. So we made waffles for breakfast. I don’t remember the last time I used a waffle iron. they didn’t complain about my mistakes. We spent some time doing some prep work for Thanksgiving dinner.
Between 3-6:00, the rest of the family arrived. That would be my oldest brother, Don, and his wife, Linda, my other sister, Janice, and husband, Jim, niece Heidi, husband Glen and Garrett and Claire. All of us were able to stay at Jerry’s house. Another niece, Sherri, husband, Bobby and his son, Ben joined us, but they stayed at a hotel in downtown Mpls.
Our great niece and nephew love their Uncle Dave |
