Whew, I made it this far.

          The time frame between Thanksgiving and Christmas in our world is always a crazy time. This year was no exception. With the traveling turkey to the mobile lasagna the work never stopped. There is so much to cover I cannot begin to put it together all at once so I am going to do this in chapters.

Wish me luck

Chapter 1

          October 29^th. The last time I had a full shave. Karen had mentioned the no shavember thing and said I would, and I have. More on that later. The weekend after Halloween Karen offered to cook Thanksgiving  for her mom at her mom’s house. Mom said ok and Karen got right to it. A different list every few days at the supermarket and the kitchen  began to burst at the seams. Pies were made and I think a cake was baked. The aromas in the house gave the scent of the season.

          Turkey day went off without (well maybe a few minor) hitches. The food was awesome caught some football  and some shuteye . So all during this time period, MaryEllen has been practicing trumpet during school and taking lessons. She had been playing everyday after school for her upcoming concert the following Thursday . Tickets were sold and people were invited. The kids had a great turnout.    

          Grandma and Grampa  loved the show. While we were all waiting for MaryEllen, Holiday meals over Christmas became a topic. I should have left for mars.
