I heard work happening outdoors, so went to chatter. It was the father, but the two boys still at home showed up shortly. The lawn tractor helps, but the walk behind blower has failed due to the wetness. I really would like to see if pieces of mudflap would really help. As well, it was the amount of snow. Just making or finding a place for all that snow, was the trick.
While talking, if he decided to check with the wife first, an invitation to dinner. I get asked often, but my sleep schedule can be so off. I don't know when I will be awake in a week. Truly. I had just awaken, but needed a shower. There was time. So... it all fit. I was going slow, but aimed just right.
It was a picture perfect Thanksgiving dinner. Two families, my friend family and a sibling's family, plus the matriarch. Many children, it was good to see in every way? Are families difficult? The options are worse. Dinner was excellent, a part of the picture perfect part. A very good day. AND, I didn't overstay. Sometimes I am clueless.
Blood sugar is 88. I did dose right as I left? I think so. A higher dose. All good.
I called my brother, twice. No one answered. I left a brief greeting. Sometimes the place is busy, perhaps they went out. As long as they know I called, it is all good. I will try, from now on. I won't take it personal, unless he asks that I not call, or never answers after some number of holidays.
I hope your Thanksgiving was good, maybe great. Mine was quite fine.
Good night.
How nice your neighbors are. Glad you had such a nice day...even with all that snow.
ReplyDeleteOur Thanksgiving here was very nice. Four of us siblings for dinner. We'll see the fifth sibling and his family on Saturday.
A rather enjoyable Thanksgiving at my end. Everyone in the family gathered in one place and, when not eating, the usual cacophony of dozens of simultaneous conversations taking place (many decades ago I realized I couldn't out-shout my siblings, and I searched for an alternate means of communication. And now you know why I became a writer).
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving for us also required only a half hour of travel. Thank the Lord for such mercies.
Jean,
ReplyDeleteYes. My neighbors have the patience of Job, too. If I think they see that I try myself? I do count them as kin. I am just not always able to visit.
Glad to see you got together. It is good to be together. I regret not figuring out how to be closer to more, but the limits aren't purely personal, or choice, for any or always. There was yesterday. A victory at a time. And for you a tomorrow, rejoice.
Michael,
I could outtalk, but as the baby wasn't always given the opportunity. Now, was writing literally a shoot from those bitter grapes, or an secondary happenstance?
It is good to be close. I have to escape early or have a place to crash. Even a reasonable plate, especially of holiday foods, puts me down. Good to hear you made it out. A successful Thanksgiving had by all. Actually, I think yesterday's dinner is catching up to me again?
Yaaaawwwnnn
Typtophan induced sleep is perhaps the best in the world.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't count bitter grapes as more of a secondary happenstance. It did give some "oomph" to my message, and I very much found myself enjoying the chance to take myself to different worlds.
And that should have been "tryptophan" and not "typtophan". Apologies.
ReplyDeleteNo need for correcting unless the context was off. I read with my commentors, and other writers, best intentions. Blogging... actual no writing... can be done without flaw.
