How Quickly Things Change

Later, on that same day, after we'd decided to commit and do whatever we had to do to save for this tropical paradise vacation dream, our friends called to tell us the destination had been changed - we were now going to Breckinridge, CO THIS Thanksgiving break. Could we still go?

They rented condos, a spa day was being planned, Thanksgiving dinner as a group, Christmas shopping and maybe skiing (maybe them, not me).

Sure, we're game. As long as we were there with them, it didn't matter where it was or when. Count us in!

Oh. Did you say Thanksgiving weekend? Last Thanksgiving weekend, as well as two before that, our son was in the hospital. That's is worst time of year. That's risky. But we'll take that risk. He's doing better, after all!

Oh, and one other thing. My husband works in a Nazi War Camp for people without hearts. Even though he worked LAST Thanksgiving AND Christmas, he works them AGAIN this year. And there's no chance in heck they'll let him off.

Oh well, we were THIS CLOSE. Have fun, guys.
