TURKEY DAY SURPRISE OF A LIFETIME!
Thanksgiving this year was very special, as my wife and I had to work it, she, pounding the ground at the mouse house and me prepping dinner for the mad rush.
The very thing I enjoyed most was having "FAMILY" close by to come and enjoy dinner with us.
The surprise I spoke of, is that my daughter who is away at school up in Georgia, was able to make it home for Thanksgiving, and that we were able to keep it from my wife for the whole week without her finding out she was coming home for Thanksgiving.
My daughter Veronika, was able to make it back in town by Wednesday night, late, where she spent the night over her adopted sisters house in order to stay hidden from my wife, so that mom wouldn't find out early that she was home.
Then Thanksgiving morning she and Alyson came by, after I dropped my wife off at the mouse house.
My daughter then helped out with Turkey Day dinner, and I went to pick the wife up from work, when we arrived back to the house, my daughter hid in our bedroom and waited for mom to open the door and when Colleen headed for the bedroom door , Veronika, came walking right out, Several huge hugs and a lot of tears later, Colleen turned to me and said you're such a "BRAT", you got me on this one big time. It went perfectly!
Fact is that whole rest of that night went great, as we were able to have dinner with our Middle boy (PHILIP Jr.)his, wife (MARTHA) and our grand daughter, my Daughter, My Neighbor, and a couple of strays that just wondered in.
It was a great Thanksgiving and we had a blast.
I hope every one's Thanksgiving was as blessed as ours was.
Sunday after church our Daughter and her friends left back for Georgia, and are now back at school, we'll be seeing her again in December just before the Christmas Holiday she'll be home, but this one the wife already knows about, so there's no surprise there, but this round was perfect.
It's been a long time since I was able to surprise the wife, and I've got to say there are many people to thank for making this happen just right, so thank all of you very much for making sure Veronika got home safely. I can't wait to see her again in December, I know it is only going to be 21 days , but the past three months without her laugh and that killer smile of hers, just made me miss her even more.
What a pair these two are, someone loves Auntie Vee!
Here's to hoping that you all had as wonderful of a Thanksgiving as we had.
Make it A Great Day Folk's!
