Of course, one of the joys of our time in PB is grand-daughter Jade. A couple of times a week we walk to daycare to pick her up. It's a 1½ mile round trip that takes a little more than 30 minutes. Rosie enjoys these walks to see her favorite person. Jade is always happy to spend time with Granny and Grand-dad until mom or dad picks her up.

Everyone will be participating in our planned HUGE Christmas, so most spent Thanksgiving with the other half of their respective families. Paul, Xue and Jade joined us for a small Thanksgiving day.
