I've got a bunch of plans since I don't have to go back to work until next Tuesday. It will be a nice break since work has been hectic this past month and I've been staying late to help out in the shipping department.
Thanksgiving this year will just be my immediate family here in Watertown. We're also working on putting up the Christmas trees, and as a matter of fact I have branches surrounding me right now spread out on the floor in thier respective piles. I'm setting up my O gauge (Lionel, MTH, Williams) under one of the trees before the Department 56 is set up. I also decided to set up my N gauge that's been packed away for the past 9 years (when I switched to HO in the basement) under the other tree. It's basically been tradition in my family to start the Christmas decorating on Thanksgiving (don't ask me why
). Hopefully some of the outside stuff will be done also since I'm not sure I'll have time for it when I go back to work next week. It's bad enough I haven't done anything with Team 237 lately but things should calm down once year-end is over with.
This Friday I have my 10 year class reunion to go to in Waterbury. Nothing like holding a reunion the day after Thanksgiving.
Funny, it doesn't seem like 10 years!
