Saturday night – hallowgiving

Really nice day today… Gabe and his girlfriend Sammantha Arrived from Portland around noon and Max and his girlfriend . It’s our first time meeting sam and she’s awesome . Max and Becky showed up around six… We’re all here together in a socially distanced way… The circumstances it brought us out here together kind of random and funny… But it’s good timing. Given the pandemic we’re being very careful and recognize that we might not get together again for sometime so were using the time to celebrate all of the holidays but we’ve either missed or will miss together. Tonight was Halloween and Thanksgiving. That was really nice. The bittersweet part is that our wonderful almost 17-year-old dog Chai Is in her final days. It’s all kind of a weird coincidence but it’s all nice to be together and that special time in chai’s life.… We never thought she’d make it today. But she still here with us which is nice

Gabe, Sam, ‘Diane and I hiked Libbys while we were waiting for Max and Becky to arrive.… We got caught in a major thunderstorm which was actually pretty cool

Soon after Max and Becky got here Diane rolled out an amazing meal… Full turkey, stuffing, bacon wrapped green beans for the boys… Sweet potatoes macaroni and cheese stuffed salmon, and then apple and pumpkin pie for dessert we can hardly move
