Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Until a month or so ago the plan had been for Al, Frances, mom, and I to leave yesterday for Myrtle Beach until Sunday. However, with Al having surgery and not allowed to travel we had to cancel those plans. Things happen and plans are changed. Instead, Frances made reservations at River Birch, one of my favorite places to eat, for 2:15. They served a nice meal at a reasonable price.
This morning I started on the tree finishing up about 1pm. I also have the little tree in the den decorated and the wreaths up. By then it was time to shower and head over for our late lunch.
I missed having dad with us and I am sure mom, Frances, and Al did as well. I cried a few minutes this morning as I started the decorations in dad’s memory as I kicked off the holiday and will more than likely shed more before all is said and done with this holiday season.
