Well It's over...

Well it's over... One more Thanksgiving dinner.... One more "black Friday" ... and no I do not go out shopping today. I find most "bargains" are not really bargains.
Had a great day yesterday. Rachel and Ashley spent the night Wednesday night. They both woke up early, knowing it was a "cooking" day. I had been up since 1 a.m.. I had to run some errands for others... I personally don't shop on national holidays. I think it is awful that the poor individuals have to work. I guess I am thankful for the ones that do work... however I feel bad that they have to work. I have met a few that have actual told me they were glad to work because of some sad story. I guess no family near or maybe no family at all, the death of a loved one recently and makes it hard to get through the holidays, people, even if they are not family, just people make the day better.
We had Thanksgiving diner. The weather wasn't the best, mom was worried about it. I thought she had decided not to come. She let me know real quick she was coming, that she needed to be with family for Thanksgiving. Marianne and her family came by. Nice to see everyone.
My daughter Lara is the only one not home for the holiday. She is with Chris's family.
Austin and Devon are staying for the weekend. We are taking them home on Sunday. Rachel and Ashley are here for the third day. They will be going home soon.
I am so thankful for my wonderful family. Yes we all have our minor flaws, however we are still a great bunch of people. Hope you had a great holiday.
