A local reader’s holiday tradition

It had been 4 years since the last time we saw our daughter, Kim. They live in Pasco, Wash.
One Thanksgiving I was talking to our daughter, Kim, on the phone. I asked her what they were going to do that Thanksgiving? She said they were on their way to the store to pick up a pumpkin pie.
My two sisters, Margaret and Karen, and I were playing cards.
Karen’s daughter, Rachel, was to come over sometime that evening.
The doorbell rang, I thought it was Rachel so I just said come on in.
All of the sudden the door opened, and what a surprise, it was our daughter and her husband.
I was so surprised I couldn’t talk. I do like to talk. We had a great Thanksgiving.
When I was talking to Kim they were in our front yard.
This year, they will be here – no surprise.
