Doesn't seem quite possible that Thanksgiving is here already. Course it doesn't seem possible that my beloved father has been dead now for 5 years either. Tomorrow, November 24 would have been his 87 birthday. I think I'd faint if anyone remembed this besides me. He wasn't perfect and had faults but who doesn't. Honestly that man could get me so mad I could scream but yet as I type this, tears are running down my face because I miss him...quite a bit too. As I've gotten older and both my daddy and grandmother have died not to mention several aunts and uncles that I was fond of, I am still very fortunate to have my mother, 2 aunts and an uncle left. Not to mention several cousins and other relates. AND I dare not forget all my adopted family on my husbands side. I am incredibly blessed and know it!
I really REALLY wish I could lavish my family with all kinds of presents for their birthdays and Christmas and for no reason except that I saw something that made me think of them and bought it. But I cannot do that and try to build a house. I tend to drive my poor husband crazy when he gets the credit card statement or I come up and tell him "Honeybunch...uhhh...I need to tell you something". Ron then stops whatever he's doing and looks at me and says "what have you bought NOW?" Usually its a pair of Crocs for under $20 because I always call him for purchases OVER $20 and are NOT Crocs. Then he smiles and says "oh ok" and goes back to whatever he's doing. Yes, I am SO VERY blessed!
Right now my mother has called me. She is down visiting her new granddaughter down in TN for Thanksgiving. I miss her too...but I am so glad she is having a great time with her first grandbaby.
Blessed I am...to say the very least!
It is my hope and prayer that whoever is bored enough to read this have a most wonderful Thanksgiving. Think of me and Ron...we will be working on the manor...and eating PB&J perhaps! Turkey is just SO overrated! lol
Until next time...
