Thanksgiving and other crazy life things...

Thanksgiving week was one heck of a week. Did everyone make it through it all? I did! A little scared but will heal. Thanksgiving time is suppose to be about giving Thanks and spending time with family. Not family saying rude things to either one person or people. Makes me not want to leave my house! But, we have to learn to be a better person and move on.

When did it happen that Thanksgiving is also when you choose name for Christmas gifts and then upset when you ask someone what they want for Christmas. All you can come up with is,, a gift card.  Which isn't bad, but what happened to buy a gift for the person because you want to. Not that "here is a list and please choose from the list". I remember a time when gift giving was so much fun, not its just another chore. Ok, call me Mrs. Grinch!

Our kid has gone back to college, it was nice to see a glance of him.  I guess, when you hit college age you don't want to hang out with dear old mom and dad! But, I do get to spend time with him during Christmas break. At least I hope so!

In case you didn't know, our house has gotten a kitten. Her name is Link, and boy is she a handful. I have never had a cat that is so hard headed as she is. She doesn't listen, she plays fishy games on the Ipad, and she loves to torment the other cats.  But she is a cutie. Here she is playing her game.
