AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Home Again Home Again Jig-Adee-Jig.
We left for Bob & Wendy's (Jacci's sister) house around 4 PM Wednesday. After a 3 hr white knuckle drive through fog and heavy traffic (0 to 80 to 0 to 80 to....) we arrived safely with plenty of time to chat & relax before bedtime.
Thursday was spent sitting at a table watching Wendy cook and working up a bodacious appetite.
This was our second Thanksgiving in a row that Jacci's family has been able to get together for Thanksgiving. Since Gene separated from Lisa there's no more contention between the women folk. Gene's new girlfriend is way normal and fits in so well.
It was the best Thanksgiving we've had in years.
Just a week before I'd finally found the family information on their Mom's side, Weed & Ellsworth.
Seems their 10th great grandfather, Jonas Weed, came to the Mass Colony in 1630. Just 9 years after the Pilgrims at Plymouth. He moved inland and by 1633 had helped found a town named Weathersfield. Jacci's sisters house is about 20 minutes from Weathersfield.
Their 10th great grandfather Josias Ellsworth Came to Windsor CT in 1646. Windsor is about 20 minutes from where Gene lives.
Interesting that after 10 generations those two gravitated back there. There was no known family connections to the area that they knew of until I presented the info at diner.

Hope everyone ate too much and shared enough and hugged with abandon :~)
