We had Pam's family over last night for an early Thanksgiving meal, while Pam's mom, Barb, and her husband Steve are in town from California. They're staying with us for ten days or so.

As I finished carving the Butterball turkey, I felt the onset of vertigo. Miniere's Disease likes to surprise me. So while everyone else at their turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing, corn and green bean casseroles, and much more, I was laying beside the toilet with the world spinning around me.

A couple hours later, I trudged out and joined everyone. They were still seated at the dining room table, carrying on. I don't imagine I looked all that great, but was at least functional. And I managed to snap a photo of everyone (except for the four nephews playing games in our basement).
