Thanksgiving 2017
I had a direction when I wrote this title. I had to leave, rush off to fun at Thanksgiving. So, now that I am back, I will just write from what thoughts come into my head now! I was thinking I would write poetry, but that is not coming just yet. The past two days have been a whirlwind of love. My husband is the best man ever. He always does the Thanksgiving Turkey when our family gets together. We usually end up with two days of whirlwind togetherness. This year, our middle daughter and her dear man came up the day after. Our younger daughter and her family managed to come down too. It was wonderful to have them together as it hasn't happened for several years. They only got to spend a few hours together and that always is sad, but to see them here, in our home, was a treasure. Middle daughter isn't the best fan of turkey, so she requested meatloaf. My dear hubby came up with the best meatloaf I have ever tasted. He always does. I cannot compliment him enough. I would never be able to handle it without him. I doubt I would even try. Then yesterday, the Saturday after, our oldest daughter and family were able to come to the youngest sister's home. They come there because the sleeping situation is much better. More room and places to play and just "be". We transported the done turkey roaster successfully, along with green beans with the onions on top. They had several salads and the dessert. We did NOT go hungry, lol. It was fantastic when it all came together. Their home is really coming together with the new kitchen almost finished. They still need to finish the ceiling around the main beam, the doorway into the utility room, and put down the flooring. They are putting the floor down sometime in the spring, I believe. My grandchildren who I don't see very often are growing up so fast now. The boys are nearly taller than me and one is 14 and the other soon to be 12! There are still two girls shorter, however, lol. I am sure that will change as well, probably sooner than I think!

We went up to Hunter and Penny's house yesterday again. This time it was for Hunter's Birthday.
He is 12! I ordered a sheet cake with legos on it from Creative Cakes in the mall. Linda and I go there to write poetry once a month, and I wanted to buy his cake last year. Larry was going to make him one but had not said anything to me. I didn't ask Larry, just ordered it. I am so glad I did. They all thought it was really nice! After all, it is only money! We went to town to get the cake and some groceries. It worked out really neat because we got the cake on the way out of town. Scott has gotten the utility room door hung and it looks really really cool! It is a dark brown, which surprised me. With the Kitchen white, I guess I expected them to go with white on the door also. But, it makes a really nice accent. He got more of the ceiling wall board up, and that is looking really professionally done. He is certainly a perfectionist! The work could not be better done by hired carpenters, I am sure. They put in a bunch of pot lights, which really make it look cool. He is getting nearer to being done all the time. He certainly puts in a lot of time at it. Today the other side of the family is at their home. With all the mess they had, we decided not to stay. We had cake and tea and then came home. Penny snuggled me really close. She seems to come to me first now. Not sure what the change has been, but I love it! That's all for now. Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Birthday Hunter!!
