Thanksgiving

How was Thanksgiving for everyone? Is the holiday a chance to relax or an opportunity to catch up on school work and study for finals?
For me it was a little bit of both.
We traveled to Twenty-nine Palms California to spend the weekend with my in-laws, but I did spend some time on the internet doing research for a project I'm working on. I also devoted Saturday afternoon to turning a rough draft into a final draft for my FCHD class.
Twenty -nine Palms is about 1 1/2 hours from Palm Springs. It is in the middle of the desert. As we were driving home we found this interesting sight and when I took a picture of it my kids said, "put this on your blog!" I have no idea why this "shoe tree" exists or who started it or why, but it is quite a sight to see out in the middle of no-where.
