Thanksgiving turned out to be a good day. My sister managed to host all of us (over 20) with great food, good talk, and great grace on her part. We managed to get along really well. Of course we stayed away from politics and religion.
But we did share pictures of our beloved Riley who was killed in July at the age of four. Her mom and dad brought pics for all of us along with bracelets to wear until after the trial next year. She was killed by an habitual criminal in a hit and run situation. Horribly sad and tortuous for her parents--along with the rest of us.
My mother-in-law is down with pneumonia and not doing well enough yet. Father-in-law is in Memphis with my husband for a few days. He will be with us for husband's 61 birthday on Friday. I'll be back to coordinate the celebration or lack thereof.
Then after a quick weekend in KY with Mother and sister, I've been here in Nashville in a knitting marathon with long-time wonderful friend. I've also celebrated a birthday with another friend and visited with her family. Done some, not enough, shopping.
So, tomorrow, back to the real world of holiday prep and lots of parties and activities. Twill be the busyness of the season. Still hoping both children come home for Christmas along with their boyfriend/girlfriend.
Knitting this week included shawls and scarves and socks and such. Am reading America, America. It takes place during the Nixon era and is pretty good. I brought more to read but didn't get to it, so the week after Christmas is the now designated reading time.
Til I'm back in Memphis, that's the way it is. See y'all.
