Things are going pretty well.

Foster & Smokey are still not thrilled about another "baby" in the house.

The weather is cool- so they are staying outsideand right now are going thru the ignoring each other phase.

They will get over it.

With the weather being cool- I stay in more. It makes my body ache. SURPRISE !! Next week I will try water

walking again- and hope for fewer people in the pool.It was to crowded to walk the last time. What a pain..I can do baby steps at home-- I need to learn to stride again,and that won't happen in a pool that is overcrowded.

It is almost Turkey day, Toms family is in from Illinois.

They stay at the farm and they will all do dinner out there.

I DON'T HAVE TO COOK or clean up after dinner this year.

Kenda invited us to have dinner with her family at her

house. I am sure the guys will have to have an XBOX

hour or two- but that is okay.

I have been scanning pictures of our 1990 trip

to Hawaii with Mom. Lots of memories ........

I am glad she finally got to see Hawaii-

It is rough without her - but the holidays are

really rough. I am going to end this before I have

myself in tears again.
