Our Thanksgiving will be a rainy one. Emily is doing the cooking, but Gary and I will be helping her with the chopping and peeling. They have been staying here for about a week, but will go back home Friday. The kids will be back in school Monday. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. I am thankful for your kind words and support, the love and support my family is providing and another day of His grace and blessings.

We are preparing ourselves for the blast of cold weather headed our way this weekend....brrr!!

One day Jimmy got home early from school and his mom asked, "Why are you home so early?" He answered, "Because I was the only one that answered a question in my class." She said, "Wow, my son is a genius. What was the question?" Jimmy replied, "The question was 'Who threw the trash can at the principal's head?'"

I HOPE EVERYONE WORE THEIR STRETCHY PANTS.  MORE ROOM FOR FOOD.  MMMMM.

CHERYL......ITS A SPECIAL DAY FOR YOU TODAY.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY.  I HOPE YOU GET TO ENJOY IT AND BE A LADY OF LEISURE.  HUGS.

Happy Birthday Cheryl!!  Have a wonderful day

Thanks friends for the birthday wishes.  It has been a very quiet day.  It is raining/sleeting out so I have stayed in all day.  DILs texted me, both sons called me and wished me happy birthday.  Anthony talked to me for 20 minutes, which is a long time for him.  He takes after me and is not a talker.  Dean and Aaron, on the other hand,  talk,talk,talk!!  lol  Aaron did want to know if I wanted to go out to eat; I said no thanks since we have so much food leftover here.

Devonne, my DIL Katie is in retail also and she has to work today and all weekend.  My DIL Emmily is a hospital lab administrator and she works from home.  She loves it.  

I am not a picture taker either, especially with my phone.  I have never taken a "selfie"    People today take more pics of themselves than anybody else.   Judy, we have lots of photo albums from when the boys were small and they do not want them now.   I never take them out to look at either as they are in boxes in the basement.  I have several that belonged to my mom as well as a few that belonged to Dean's mom.  Nobody wants them these days.

I think I will go sew or cut fabric for a while since Dean is at the gym working out.  He goes every day.    He is is great physical shape and is not on any medications at all.  He says now I am as old as he, but he will be 70 in February, so I said I will never be as old as him.    It is a standing joke with all of us.

Devonne, my Dean does not cook but he helps prep when he can and he always does the clean up, so that is a good deal for me.  Sounds like Gary does good work too!!

A 92 year old man is walking through a park and sees a talking frog. He picks up the frog and the frogs says, “If you kiss me, I will turn into a beautiful princess and be yours for a week.” The old man puts the frog in his pocket. The frog screams, “Hey if you kiss me, I will turn into a beautiful princess and make love to you for a whole month.” The old man looks at the frog and says, “At my age I’d rather have a talking frog.”

ANOTHER NIPPY MORNING BUT SUNNY.  NICE.

MY S.S. CHECK WAS IN MY BANK ALREADY.  TIME TO MAKE OUT MY CHECKS AND GET THEM MAILED EARLY.
WATCHED ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL MARATHON FROM START TO END THE LAST 2 DAYS.  I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT SEASON TO BEGIN. 
AM ALSO HAVING LEFTOVERS AGAIN TODAY.  LUCKY ME I LIKE MY LEFTOVERS AND HAVE A COUPLE OF CHOICES TO ENJOY.  
GOT MY PLACE VACUUMED, WASHED A SINKFUL OF DISHES, AND LAID BACK MOST OF YESTERDAY.
TODAY GOT MY PILLS AND SUPPLEMENTS READY FOR THIS WEEK AND WILL UPDATE MY CALENDAR FOR DECEMBER. WILL WORK A BIT ON MY JIGSAW PUZZLE, TOO.
NO PLACE TO GO TODAY.  MY DAY CAN OFTEN BE DULL BUT AT MY AGE I GUESS THAT'S A GOOD THING.
HAVE A GOOD DAY EVERYONE.  HUGS, QB S

This needs to be quick.   Howard asked me to cut his hair and I agreed.  Have tried on what I'm going to wear tomorrow for our small group Christmas lunch at a wonderful Italian restaurant.  And, I've already called them to verify the reservation since I made it some weeks ago.  And, I made sure that they still serve the entree that I had last year and so I could tell Howard.  He's already checked out the menu and declared he doesn't see anything he wants.  Seafood Alfredo was my choice last year and I know he'd like that better than whatever? he had then.  Oh the hoops I have to jump through with him...

Sounds like some of us are hunkered down and enjoying some quiet time after the Big Day.  
Devonne, I'm so glad you're being pampered a bit.  You deserve it.  And Cheryl, you also by your family, for your birthday.  QB, is there a time of day when your bit of boredom comes over you?  Sometimes, I'm amazed at the variety of feelings, emotions,  and fatigue  that wash over me each day.  If I read something, regularly, those all seem to calm down.  TV, while I'm hooked doesn't do that.  It often riles me up.  

So, I'm off the change into my everyday clothes, and get his hair cut before the next, "important" football game! 
Indy
