Today was the day we mark Sam’s organ donation. I just made a separate post<\/a> on that because its too important to mix in with the events of a day.<\/p>\n

Though we mark all three days of Sam’s passing. This year we had decided to use that day as a travel day to start our Thanksgiving trip to meet\u00a0 family in Houston.\u00a0 We left home at 4AM to meet our 6am flight . By 1PM we were in Houston… where I grew up.. it’s a huge\u00a0 and gritty city.. but it’s still home.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We picked up our car and headed through the concrete jungle\u00a0 to billy and shaun’s\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though we all get together a couple of times a year, this is the first time that DIane and I have been to see billy and shaun in Houston in several years.. before covid at least.\u00a0 It was so good seeing all the Texacohns and\u00a0 their super cute sheep dog Andy !<\/p>\n

We were so excited to see Billy’s skeletons that he made for Halloween. They are 11 (I think) full-size plastic skeletons that spin around on a speed control motor (which I helped on)\u2026 Illuminated by strobe. The whole effect is so amazing as you watch the skeletons brachiate around the wheel. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s really a work of art<\/p>\n

It was so great to see the skeletons all assembled after spending so much time working with it remotely.. It’s one of the coolest things I think Billy has ever built !<\/p>\n

After skeleton time, we all jumped in our various cars and drove to Galveston . Billy drove his Maclaren which had been decorated as a HotWheels for a HotWheels publicity stunt.. very cute.

My sister and her family and my mom met us there at a place called the Spot. A great place to start our vacation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
