Thanksgiving 2011

We celebrated Thanksgiving this year at the Dings' new home. Penny and Bob, Pam, Joss & I joined Lee, Barbara, & Kyleigh for some football, drinks, and a wonderful Turkey, Ham & all the trimmings including Bob's apple and pumpkin pies.

Quasi -the word

Quasi. Pronounced: Kwey' zahy.

The meaning of quasi:

Resembling, almost, “having some, but not all of the features of,”

Example: "Meet Jossy, my quasi wife." or "Meet Sami, my quasi granddaughter."

Nobody I know pronounces it Kwey' zahy. My engineering friends always pronounced it:
Kwah' zahy, (kwaz eye) as in "The boss is a quasi idiot!"

How Time Flies

I was reminded (again) how time does fly!
One of my grandchildren emailed me and said she keeps up on my travels by checking my Blog. That reminded me that I had not updated it in over a year!
Dear ______ grandchild (name omitted to protect the innocent): There are many more travels under our feet since that last post.
Everybody in my family switched to Facebook and left the Blog world. I hate Facebook and will not go there.
Now that I realize that my Blog is visited, I will try to keep it updated.
