Birthdays....Hospitals & Death...An Early Thanksgiving Trek and More

 

"Nope...I'm staying right here by the heat...thank you very much..."

                                                                                                    Sofi

Seriously.

Fall lasted approximately 2 weeks. Then we woke up to snow and all the leaves down, and 24 degrees.

"Still not moving..."

John sending me two pairs of black thermals this week.  I may live in them until SPRING.

Yes...although Thanksgiving isn't even here yet...Winter is creeping in...and if I am this cold in the 20's and 30's...it will be insufferable below zero.


 

A week of ups and downs for me.

Brenda, in and out of hospitals.

Lennon's 33rd birthday...where everyone is donating to his Birthday Adult Lego Project

Which boasts over 9000+ individual Legos.

He is taking the rest of his vacation days and will send photos as it becomes.

Rumor has it...there is even a Grand Staircase inside (to be built)

Right now it is boxes and bags of Lego bricks.

(iceberg sold separately)

We celebrated Diane's 71st birthday...with Linguini & Shrimp Alfredo and Asparagus Tips.


and shared hugs and tears over the loss of her mom (earlier in the week) at 90.

sigh

Thanksgiving plans made...then dashed.

We passed the Infrastructure Bill...

Yes...it has been an emotion filled week.

John away right now...on a trek with his daughter and son-in-law for an early Thanksgiving.


I miss you...and wish I were there, too.

By Friday...this week's saving grace was

It was absolutely the funniest film I have seen this year...

And did I need it!

Just the interaction....banter and wit between Ryan Reynolds and
Dwayne Johnson is worth the price of admission.

Excellent, with many unexpected twists and turns.

A must-see.

Now to get laundry in...dishes done and settle in with Football & Food. The Colts play at  1 PM and the Chiefs at 4:25.

"Staying right here, Mom..."


UPDATE:

The Colts kicked ass!!!

So did the Chiefs!!!

Okay...maybe with a little help...
