Hi everybody? Are you in the proper post-Thanksgiving position? Reclining on the couch with a pillow under your head and clutching a bottle of Tums in one fist, a beer in the other, and an icepack on your head, with crumbs from the feast and confetti in your favorite team's colors littering the floor? Well, good! I had fun too.
We had a proper Thanksgiving feast, and spent the afternoon begging friends and neighbors to come over and help dispose of the leftovers. We still have leftovers, now residing in the fridge and freezer. That freed us up to spend today talking with kids and grandkids in other parts of the world : Oklahoma, Texas, Delaware, Russia, and Israel.
This is one of those days that makes me thankful for modern technology. The cell phone is a wonderful thing when you have one grandson serving in the US Air Force in Russia and another serving in the Israeli Air Force. They are both fine, despite the current ongoing conflicts. I have a grandnephew who is serving in the US Air Force in Afghanistan. The technology that threatens to overwhelm us at least keeps us in touch with our loved ones.
I deliberately did not attend a single Black Friday sale. My presents were all either bought months ago or will be made before Christmas rolls around. Didn't watch the Macy's parade, but will watch the Parade of Roses soon. Looking forward to it. How about you?
