Celebrations

This was a week of celebrations for the Snows.To begin the week, Sharon celebrated a major birthday and is now caught up with Don again.   The group wished her well with calls, card and a birthday cake for all to share.    It wasn't so bad.

Plus, since it was Thanksgiving week, we had Wednesday plus the holidays free since the staff had the time off.  The rest of the week centered around thanksgiving and, naturally, food.   On Wednesday evening, we took advantage of the warmer weather to have a cook out.   This time of the year, we must start early because the sun sets well before 5 pm and it gets dark even sooner than that thanks to central time in the eastern US!   On Thursday, we all pitched in for a traditional Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings.   Shocco Springs had given us one of their best places for our use complete with a normal sized kitchen!   (This is important since most RVs can't handle big items.)  We all miss our families when we are away but it is much harder during the times when most families are together for this special time.

Variety is good.   This week we did different work.   After folding laundry for a day again, on Tuesday, we were outside in the gorgeous weather pruning rose bushes.   Yes, these bushes were still loaded with bloom.   I guess we aren't back home in Indiana in November!    The men went to a house Shocco has recently purchased to tear down a deck and salvage the excellent lumber.   They loved doing it, but to a man, they were exhausted and thankful for a 2 day week.

Come Monday morning, we will be totally refreshed and more than anxious to get going again!    Can't believe we are half way done.   Well, maybe we can believe it.    We went Christmas shopping and hear Christmas music.   That means another celebration will be coming soon---but with family the next time.
