Made it through the Thanksgiving holiday...whew!...
There was Big Food at our house on Saturday, per long tradition: "We'll have food at (this time), so come over if you can!" Our procession included Brian, Jeannie and not-so-little Sophie (7 months); Mom Howard, Bobby's Aunt Linda and brother Neal, and assorted friends: Mary, Dian and kids, Bill and Carol...oh yes, and cousin Amy, just in time for the last of the candied yams! Although we were both a bit under the weather, we enjoyed having our home filled with love and laughter...we made up for it today, by spending the whole day either in bed or on the couch, cheering for the Panthers, and mourning for the Redskins...in our pajamas...still...
Medical note: Chicken noodle soup is still the recommended cure-all for feeling yucky!

Creation of Planet Howard
In the search for peace in the universe...
Planet Howard comes into view, a small, quiet place in a busy world. The door of the Howards' house is always open to friends and family...and we've been known to host the occasional Interplanetary Gathering. In the rapidly-growing Blog Universe, Karen and Bobby felt a burning desire to create Planet Howard...so we hope you enjoy your visit, and check back often as the journey continues!
Meet the Howards:
Bobby is Dad to Danny, Gramps to Ben and Dane, and "Hey Ump" to hundreds of youth ballplayers. If you find him in "Bobby's World," rest assured that the soundtrack is rockin'...most likely 70's rock or the beloved Lynyrd Skynyrd!
Karen is Mom to Shanna and Mike...Grandma to Ben/Granny K to Dane, and "Howie" to co-workers at Mecklenburg County Park & Recreation Dept, where she has been a Therapeutic Recreation Specialist for 10 years (!). Good luck catching her at home between choir practice, programs and other Social Engagements...
The inhabitants of Planet Howard also include 2 felines: Delilah, slim and black; and Misty, the legendary Big Fat Gray Cat. These two are from separate worlds, and often disturb the balance of Planet Howard with their disagreements. A truce may be called one day...
Bobby and Karen welcome many travellers into their home...and you are invited, too! The coffee's on...the grill is ready...the music is always fine...and we'll watch for you to land on Planet Howard!
