What fun! It really isn't a burden to have so many, as long as everyone jumps in to help. We have up to 50 people at our Thanksgiving meals each year, and no one is overworked. Some cook, some wash dishes, some pick up trash, some direct kids where to help. It all works.<br /><br />That is the sweetest first kiss story...<br /><br />I must say, I'm jealous of the short sleeves on Thanksgiving. We had snow.

That must bring back good memories! <br /><br />Surfing in Tahoe? I've never been to Tahoe; I didn't realize there was surfing there. I've boogie boarded before, but have never attempted surfing. I think vicarious surfing via skype or just watching in person is the closest I'll get to trying that sport.

We are envious of other places that are receiving precipitation! This morning, though, we got a few sprinkles, and the forecast gives us hope to receive some measurable rain in the next couple of days. We'll see.

The only change I would make to your sentence would be the addition of "a" before "t-shirt" (if you intended singular person), or no "a" and "t-shirts" (if you intended plural). Whether or not that is proper, I don't know, but in any case, I had no problem understanding your comment. :-)<br />I'm sorry the cold is causing you to ache. Hopefully you can stay warm and feel better!Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136276061114462192noreply@blogger.com
