Thanksgiving Eve

Today was a nice quiet day, for the most part. Brad and I got up and started getting things ready for our Thanksgiving dinner. We had Brad's parents, and my mom here. It was small, but nice. The food was great, we tried a new recipe for sweet potatoes, and it was very good. Got it from my daughter Jill. (thanks Jill). We had a nice visit, and ate too much, or at least Don did! I went on line, and did a little shopping for the up coming holiday. Hope I got all the sizes right! Don and Nancy went home, mom stayed awhile longer, we had a turkey on a roll, and then she went home. I think she was struggling a little bit today, even though she doesn't share much about what she is thinking. She did say she didn't sleep well last night, but no reason why. I am sure she is missing dad. It does seem different not having him here. He so loved to eat on the holidays these past few years. He always like to eat, but whenever I had him out for dinner, he always ate really good. On thanksgiving and Christmas he always had a big appetite. I do miss him, seemed like something was just missing, with him gone. The next big hurdle, is his birthday which is coming up. Home health and Hospice has a tree, that you can light a candle for a loved one that you have lost, or just some one you really care about. I am going to do that, and the reading of the names just happens to be on what would have been dad's 82nd birthday.

The puppies are doing good, calming down quite a bit. This was their first thanksgiving, as they were born Jan. of this year. I think they enjoyed the turkey that Brad fed to them. They like their new dog beds, and have not tried to chew them up. I hope that me saying that doesn't jinx anything.

I tried to post the other night, but my computer would not let me. It was doing weird things, don't know why.

I don't know how to do some stuff, but I guess I will figure it out. I am getting ready to hook up to cable, instead of dial up, which will be great, I will be able to upload pictures and such. I so look forward to doing that. I know Jill will be glad when she visits, that things are moving a little faster.

I guess I have rambled on enough for now. I keep telling myself I have to work tomorrow, seems like I should have the day off, if I were queen, all would get the day after a holiday off!
