Thanksgiving

From reading your blogs, it sounds like most of you had a good day yesterday. If you didn't, remember that Thanksgiving is just one day in the year, and you can have a wonderful time on other days, too!

I survived all the cooking and cleaning up. We had a nice meal, and we're enjoying our leftovers. The holiday was a little sad this year, though, since it was the first year my mother wasn't with us. She is in a rehabilitation facility since she was in the hospital for over 2 weeks. I felt sad for my father. In addition, my husband's aunt and uncle did not show up because they weren't feeling well. We only had 9 people for dinner, which is the smallest group ever. We managed to have fun, and I'm glad that my father, in-laws, my husband, and my daughters were with me.

Today, my younger daughter and I made it to the Gap in time for the 50 per cent off sale. We picked up some good bargains and celebrated the day after Thanksgiving with shopping like all good Americans!

Enjoy the rest of the long weekend!
