Yes, I think I posted it on the Show and Tell thread.

Any more I celebrate Black Friday by sleeping in a little. Most of the big chains havenāt updated their sale fliers in years and the limited quantities available make me mad. Most our shopping is done on line anymore and those sales tend to start at the beginning of November. If Iām with some family that wants to go out Iāll do it for the fun of it, but seldom buy anything.

This year I have been elected to stay and have Thanksgiving with mom who is in the hospital right now. Everyone else is heading to Iowa for a meet up (five siblings and all the ancilliary crew). I have a niece who is finishing up her treatment for lymphoblastic leukemia. She has done super well and the prognosis is excellent after her last consolidation treatment. It will be a big celebration for everyone.
Thatās my perspective this year. I am happy to be able to spend time with mom all to myself. Sheās 91 and is still coming up with things she never talked about before. What she has lived through is just amazing.

Bless your heartā¦and your momās, too. It is a precious time. My mom passed away two years agoā¦the day before Thanksgiving. Seems like forever, seems like yesterday. I was exceedingly fortunate to have my mom around for 69 yearsā¦as she was 103 when she passed. We too, shared many memories of long ago that few are left around to remember. Have a wonderful time.
