Thanksgiving is a lovely time for relaxing and spending time with family. In this case, my future in-laws. Karen and I took our freshly rented car (more later) and went to CT and spent Thursday and Friday with her family. It was nice. Karen made two kinds of stuffing which were both awesome. We had all the normal fixin’s on the sizeable turkey. Quite a nice dinner, and we played some board games afterwards and have a nice relaxing evening.

Today we headed back and stopped at my parents’ place. By this time, though, Karen was feeling a bit under the weather so we sat around and chatted. This was also quite nice. I like spending time with our families. Now we’re sitting at home on the couch chillin’ with the kitty, who missed us greatly.

So, about the rental. Coming home from Worcester the previous Wednesday, we hit a deer on 495. Thankfully, Karen was alert enough to see it and warn me so I could slow down and not hit it at highway speeds. It’s getting appraised on Tuesday, so we’ll find out if we need to get another car or not.

In slightly related news, my brother got a Mini. I mention this because I was totally going to get a Mini for my next car and he completely stole my idea. Ah well.
