events of the week
Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. I didn't. Because my nurse sister had to work on Thursday, we had the turkey dinner on Saturday when she was off. My mom cooked & I use the term loosely, since the turkey was still pink when she took it out of the oven & the stuffing had a strange spongey texture. I only ate some stuffing, gravy & cranberry sauce. My sister, who wasn't in the greatest mood to begin with, took a temper tantrum after a gnat landed on her napkin. She acted like it was a scorpion instead & kept yelling about one things after another for the rest of the evening. My mom just sat at the table & went into a sort of trance. Oh boy, I can't wait till Christmas!
The craft show is this Saturday & I'm busy with last minute things.Then it's loading the car on Thursday and set-up on Friday. I'm trying not to get too nervous about it all, though I am a bit apprehensive since I've never been in this particular show, though it has a good reputation & high attendance. I'll be taking all small paintings, so everything will fit into a couple boxes & be easy to transport. I'll take photos of my space & post them here afterwards. Keep your fingers crossed that business is good.
Tomorrow is my monthly book discussion, our last for the year and we will be doing Dicken's "A Christmas Carol". I'll be leading, so I hope people have shaken off the effects of that triptyphane & will be talkative. I've got about 11 questions, though some are on trivial things & obscure sentences. Hopefully, they will expand on the message & relevancy of the book to keep the meeting lively. I'll be wearing my Winnie the Pooh "Holiday Wishes" shirt to add to the festive feeling.

That sounds like some holiday!
Good luck with the show.
I hope things go well with it.
Shudder about the pink turkey
Well now your family dinner sounds about like my families would have. Last I was home I planned my trip so we could all be together for Mother's Day. For me a time for tears and I ended up leaving for home two days early.
Thanksgiving actually went pretty well, cozy and GREAT food (my mama cooked); I missed my brother, though. (He will be in for Christmas.)
I spent the day after Thanksgiving in the hospital. I should have gone back two days after that, but didn't.
Does your sister have OCD?
Love,
Angel
