Hi, Larry, long time no see.

Doug! What's new?

Nothing much.
How was your Thanksgiving?

Oh, it was great — I slept late.

So did I. We didn't have lunch till three.

I took my little sister to see the Thanksgiving Day parade before dinner.
She loved it. Then we had a big family dinner around six.

Who came? Anyone I know?

Well, my older sister and her husband came for the whole weekend.
You met her a couple of years ago, remember?
And of course, my stepbrothers stopped by for dinner on Thursday,
and so did my aunts and uncles with all their kids.
The oldest is only nine. I had to play games all day long.

What a drag! So, how's your sister doing? I haven't seen her in ages.

She's fine. She loves her new job.

I didn't know she had a new job.

Neither did I. Also, she and Mike just bought a new house.

I see they're really getting into married life.
Anyway, we had a small Thanksgiving.
