Usually I can't manage to log-in to LJ on my Dash, but I'm glad I managed this morning, because last night's storm took out the household's internet.

My house remains dry! The dike keeps my drain from coming close to being full, even in a full-fledged storm.

Had a wonderful evening last night meeting a_belletrist for the first time. She came up to have dinner and create a character for Storyteller's new game. He cooked a new recipe I had found for grilled scallops with almonds (that turned out very well) while A_belletrist and I sat at the kitchen table and talked. After dinner, they created her character while I did the dishes.

Just as her LJ entries suggest, she and I have a lot in common, and I thoroughly enjoyed having her over.

Today I get to make final decisions about Thanksgiving dinner and go shopping (turkey is not on the menu). Storyteller and my parents will be joining The Daughter and I for a mid-day celebration, then the parents are going home, the daughter is going off with her father for his family's feast, and Storyteller and I get to have some uninterrupted time to relax together .

Yay for no flooding! : )

And we have to talk about the whens and such for Christmas. Mom and dad are good with it being here, they just want us to decide what time and day.

The past few years, I've done Christmas Eve with the parents, then sent the Child with her dad on Christmas Day. If that will work for your family, that would be great.

We should connect in email, as there are a couple of other factors to consider.
