But it's just too important for me to miss. We (hubby and I) have so much to be thankful for, this year and every year. We both have been incredibly fortunate to have kept our jobs all through the financial crisis period after 2007, and even advanced. Hubby will celebrate 38 years at Big Aerospace …

This is the view from the deck of our vacation house in Bigfork, Montana, on September 7, the day after we got there from Washington. You can't see much, due to the smoke from the terrible wildfires, that closed Glacier National Park, and prevented our group from doing most outdoor activities. And on September 10, …
