Happy T-Day!
Are you still full? We are and we still have lots of pie!
Bob and I made it through the first two days of work this week. We did a little Christmas shopping and got ready for our Thanksgiving guests.
Mom came up Wednesday and was just thrilled to see those great grandchildren. Veronica always loves it when Grandma Martha comes to visit! She got to read Grandma # 1, as she referred to Grandma Martha. Cash figured out really quickly who the soft touch was! He is now crawl, scooting everywhere and he loves to dance.
Wednesday, it snowed. It was like 70 the day before. Then it was COLD!
On Thanksgiving, my sister and my brother and my sister-in-law came and we all had a good time. I cooked (yes, I can) and we ate and visited. My brother's grandsons came over in the evening. They are 2 and 1 and for awhile we had 4 kids here playing. They were all adorable. Cash was a little bewildered but I can tell it won't be long before he is in there.
Friday, we did a little house shopping and looking for my mom who is getting ready to retire and move up here. Didn't find the "one", but we did look around.
Friday night featured the annual Christmas Craft night. Mom, Bob, Drew, Rachel, Veronica, Cash, me, and my friend Robin crafted our way through some multi-cultural angels, personalized gift bags, and some very interestingly decorated cookies. Drew was especially dedicated to the cookie decorating and one of the snowmen has been named Leftie for his shifty facial features. This will be our first holiday season without Robin's mom, Frances, and she is missed.
There was also a rematch of the game Twister featuring Rach, Drew, and Veronica. It was interesting as always.
Drew has spent the break with us and it was nice to have him home. He only lives 20 minutes away, but he has been working out at his Dad's and it is easier and cheaper for him to go from here. He and Bob went to a movie the other night. They miss each other and they needed to get away from the women.
Rach has been here when she wasn't working at Sonic. That job keeps her very busy. She enjoyed getting to see her Grandma Martha.
On Saturday Mom left early to miss some more snow. Bob, Drew and I lolled about in our p. j. s and watched movies Oceans 13 and We are Marshall. Those are some pretty men on Oceans and I already loved We are Marshall. I don't even like football.
Sunday will find me paying bills, going to school to grade and update the computer grades, doing laundry, and helping Drew with an English paper. Almost back to the grind.
Sunday, Bob will probably spend in bed. Now he has a cold!
Hope your holiday was good and your week is great too!

Lucky Bugs!
November 18
It's invasion of the Asian Beetle Bugs. They are little, they look yellow lady bugs, they're supposed to be lucky, and they are everywhere. The incredibly warm fall has led to plethora of beetles and now that it is sometimes colder, they are moving into everyone's home. It is so bad, it was on the tv news.
Other than that exciting development, I survived my cold. However, it took me sitting at home all day Wednesday on the couch.
Bob worked a couple of days locally and then worked on making Drew's bedroom into his Man Loft full of geeky Bob things. I think he and a friend are going to a World War II museum today.
Friday, we watched Baby Cash. We took him out to dinner with us and he was well-behaved. He has figured out what food is and I could tell he was much more interested in my steak than his green beans. He is learning to crawl. He has mastered getting up on all fours and moving forward. Unfortunately, he hasn't gotten it all together. He gets up on on all fours and rocks. Then, he lays down and scoots forward. It isn't going to take long. Rachel can't decide if she is happy or not.
Rachel took the kids out yesterday and Veronica got a Clarice (Rudolph's girlfriend-not Hannibal Lecter's friend) at Build a Bear. Then they ate at her favorite restaurant. I-HOP! She has been practicing for her upcoming Christmas concert. She is leery because she is afraid she might have stage fright. She is visiting me this morning and is all dressed up in a black velvet dress ensemble. It might be a bit much, but it makes her happy. She is such a happy little girl!
I haven't talked to Drew much this week. I know that he got a doe out hunting.
Last night Bob and I went to my sorority Thanksgiving dinner. It was a good time with good food and nice people. Most of them think Bob is quiet, but he got to talking and didn't shut up. I think they were shocked. He had a good time.
We are looking forward to Thanksgiving. Everyone is coming here. My mom may not last until Wednesday, because she really wants to see those great-grandbabies.
I was reading the local paper this week when I saw an editorial from someone I knew. Bob's former mother-in-law gets a subscription and she wrote in about our mayor's legal problems. He has been accused of favoritism in hiring. Of course in small towns, it is hard to hire anyone that you are related to in some way. I guess if someone halfway across the country can tell how stupid the situation is, then our state ought to get it too.
Have a happy week and remember to be thankful. And to eat turkey.
