The Bowen Boys at Thanksgiving
I always feel both blest and stressed between Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Stressed trying to keep up with all the comings and goings of our numerous clan, planning get-togethers and figuring out who's going to be able to meet for dinner when.  But blest beyond measure as I see my wonderful family interacting, teasing, having a good time together.

It's good when those who live a distance away can come and spend some time and we can catch up on what's been happening in each other's worlds, and sad when we have to be apart.  I genuinely enjoy my kids and grandkids, and love having them close enough to see regularly.

For some reason, we only got a photo of the boys at Thanksgiving. Guess that means we need a group shot of the Bowen Beauties for Christmas!  Watch this space...

Hi Rose, If you don't know about them already, you should check out the Security Now! podcasts. Episode 101, "Are you Human?", had a nice discussion of "captcha" technology. Mark
