Day After Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope everyone had a great day yesterday. Even with the things going on in my life, I can see how blessed I am and truly appreciated by the wonderful people in my life.
I have spent holidays with the boy’s dad and grandma’s before, they always invite me if I don’t have to work because I don’t have extended family here. Thanksgiving is a holiday that the boy’s grandma likes. She is very sick this year so I went there and cooked for everyone so my former mother-in-law could still have everyone at the house. She wasn’t able to get out of bed, but was still able to visit with everyone. I sure appreciated all help with the prep work (cutting, peeling, etc) while I got dinner ready.
It is different cooking a meal like that when it is not in my own kitchen. The boys’ dad made sure I had everything I needed and even ventured out in the Thanksgiving Day crowds, with my youngest daughter and got anything I needed that wasn’t in their house.
I made homemade rolls which is my youngest daughter’s favorite. My grand daughter takes after her aunt and loves them, too. I really enjoy cooking and I really enjoy doing for my family.
My grand daughter took this up-close picture of her grandma! She was SO cute taking pictures with my camera or her grandpa’s camera. Thank goodness for digital so we aren’t paying to have up-close pictures of the floor, jeans, tables, arms, etc. to be developed along with the good shots she got! She has loved my camera since she was little. She use to love looking through the view finder and see her mom and dad.
My grand daughter just loved playing with all her aunts and uncles. Here is Bob Schmuck with his niece. She will be 2 years old soon and is growing so fast!
I can’t believe the year is almost over! It has been a challenging year and a year of growth and discovery. I look forward to the new year that is ahead and all that it will bring.
Today, I enjoyed writing for myself for a change, but now it’s time to get back to my paid writing. Well….first I think I will have a piece of pumpkin pie. I never did get any last night because I was SO full. I’m sure glad there were left overs to take home!
