Children

This morning I got a very nice surprise. One of my boys called me out of the blue. I talk to both of them several times a week but neither one of them are the one to make the call. It's me who calls them so to have one of them call me was, to say the least, shocking. And wonderful. Neither one has school today as it's the day before the holiday but I didn't expect either one to be up this early. I'm up every morning at 6:30 to keep to my schedule. If I didn't get up at that time I'd end up sleeping the whole day away.

I started this blog earlier this morning but the power went out for a while and I lost everything I had written so I had to start all over from the beginning. I thought it would save it when I lost the Internet connection but it didn't for some reason.

Well I have a lot to do today in order to get ready for Thanksgiving tomorrow. I'm going to make the sweet potato casserole today and put it in the fridge till I need to cook it tomorrow. I have gone the easy route this year by getting box stuffing and frozen pies. Last year I had made a pumpkin pie and it turned out absolutely dreadful so I decided this year I'd buy one instead. I'm not sure what I did, besides leaving out the molasses that made it so bad but even the dog wouldn't eat it. (that's a saying in my family. I don't really have a dog.)

Because of the power outage I'm now watching The Three Musketeers for the third time from the beginning. I suppose I could fast forward to where it went off but because I'm on the computer as well as watching TV I've missed some of it so to play it from the beginning means maybe this time I'll see what I missed.

Well I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. Don't eat to much and don't stress to badly. I do wish my sister from Ohio was going to be up this way because as it stands now she will be alone for Thanksgiving. I try every year to have a dinner for people who have no other place to go and this year it would have been nice to have her here. I am having a friend from the complex who doesn't have anywhere else to go here for dinner. It's nice to share what I have with others. I love helping others.
