An empty chair...

This will be the first Thanksgiving in as long as I can remember that my entire family has not gotten together. My youngest brother will not be coming home as he is traveling to visit his girlfriend. I am really happy he has someone in his life but it won't be the same without him. This will be the first year that my older brother will be bringing someone to Thanksgiving dinner. He got married this summer and we are still getting to know his bride. I am not sure what we will talk about around the table but it should prove to be interesting. The few times I have been around my new sister-in-law she has always had something interesting to say. Last time we visited she filled me on the best eyelash growth products on the market. I also learned that she is writing a novel. The topic of her book was a bit troubling to me and I am hoping that we won't be discussing it at the table this Thanksgiving. With some luck we can find something else to talk about I am sure.
