Happy Thanksgiving

This week at work has been like a ghost town. I was on call so I didn't have the luxury of taking off. As it turns out, I was busier than a one armed paper hanger. So busy in fact that I didn't get a chance to walk at work on my breaks.

Today, I made up for it. The air was crisp, and the sun was warm. The dogs skittered around like chip monks. Many of the autumn leaves have fallen, but the ones that remain are stunning. Reds, yellows, and oranges. It would be hard to slip up on anything because the ground is covered with crunch brown leaves. I walked long enough to make up for the days I skipped.

We had lunch with my sister Mary Lois. My mom dozed in her recliner while we all ate. She doesn't like crowds even though it was family. She can't hear good and she says the sounds of people laughing and talking loud hurts her ears. My hearing is not what it once was and I have a hard time hearing in crowds too, so I understand where she's coming from.

It was good to spend a nice day with family and friends.

Happy Thanksgiving.
