Happy Thanksgiving

Posted on by under Holidays

This Thanksgiving was a different Thanksgiving. We haven’t been at Thanksgiving in 2 years. The Thanksgiving in 2019 we went to see Jeff’s sister. Then 2020 happened. Nothing more to say there. It was different because it’s the first Thanksgiving I went to without my parents.

My dad had hip replacement surgery and there were some complications. So he wasn’t feeling up to going to Thanksgiving this year which made my mom happy. She has always hated going to Thanksgiving. I know Jeff didn’t really want to go without my parents but sometimes we have to adult even when we don’t want to.

I am glad we went this year. I have to say Thanksgiving has really thinned out since I was a kid. Not too many go anymore. It was still good to see some of my aunts and uncles and stay and chat.

I am starting to see why Vin Diesel says “It’s all about the family!” Because it is.

I did this diamond painting clock.

On Monday I went to April’s house. It looks nice in there and she has it mostly organized. I got to meet her new member of her family, Sage. Who is a 5-month-year-old kitten. She was so interactive. Didn’t run and hide when I came and let me hold her. It was so fun playing with her.

On Saturday we are going to get 8th of a cow. Never done anything like that before. I just know it’s not only going to save us money but it’s going to taste delicious!

For the first time in a very, very long time I am excited for Christmas. It’s because of something that I have made up my mind about. I am not ready to share but am almost there to share. I am optimistic about the future which usually I am not.

Remember when I said I will never ever have a puppy again? Like I was really dead set on never having one again. Well….we decided to live the nightmare again. I know, I know I said never again. This time will be different since Jeff works from home more. He can help out more too.

Jeff really wants a silver lab but if we can’t find one of those then chocolate lab this time. We want a girl lab too this time. I think Tex will be curious at first. I think Tex will be fine having a sister. We are excited to have another dog in our life.

Ah, this time of year again. It’s starting to get cold out. Today is 32F. However, I go for a walk in the morning. Not every day but I am trying three times a week. It’s so hard because I hate mornings and walking in the cold sucks. But I am trying and for that, I am proud of myself.
