Thanksgiving was wonderful but oh so exhausting. My feet felt like they were going to fall off the day before when I did so much cooking.

I went to a neighborhood come and go after we got home from my sisters and enjoyed it immensely They served deep fried turkey and dressing and all the fixings. It was fun to see friends that I had not seen in a while.

Ted and I need a winter break and we have been discussing where to go and with whom. It will have to b e a short one because the season is closing in on us.

I always enjoy buying presents for my grandaughter in addition to giving them cash. I buy them the same things to promote closer cousin hood. This year I am giving them identical sterling silver bracelets. I hope they always keep each other in their lives.

May your pursuit of the holiday be Joyous!
