Had a good day. Lots of memories floating around in my mind. I am glad for all those who have a large group of family &/or friends for the holidays. I do not begrudge them but am just sad of all I am missing that I used to have. And I miss the me I used to be. I will never be the same. I lost Willie & that has really affected & changed me & my life. I lost both of my kids plus 2 grandkids. How & why I lost them is much worse than being without them. Then 3 chronic diseases to deal with. I miss family gatherings but that is life. Things always change. I almost cried once today but feel much better tonight. I realise I am lucky just in different ways.
I slept sort of well, just fell asleep late. Tried to nap but woke up early. But that was a good thing. I got ready for supper & Nico & I sat outside with Cinder. A nice moment I needed. So did they.
My brother, PM, & I ate at the Happy Swede that served a complete Thanksgiving meal. My first photo is of it. We all three agreed it was the best Thanksgiving meal we have ever had. Perfect! I had part of my food & part of JR's food to take home. I will eat good this weekend!! I am so thankful for those two men & just thinking of their friendship & spending the meal with them made me feel so good. No more tears. I do not need family that does not want me. Their loss.
There was a huge group in the next room. No idea who they are. They were there long before us & still there when we left. They were all into a football game on the TV. Fun!
When I got home I shared a snack with Nico & Cinder. Kisse does not like people food.
Lots of Christmas lights in town already. Downtown is all white lights. Time to capture photos. I love Christmas lights. I look forward to a special place in Salina. Wish someone could drive me through. I cannot take photos as there is too much traffic. JR gets lots of good photos. But I have no one to ask to drive me. Willie used to drive us there. Miss those times.
Photos tonight are Thanksgiving photos. None are mine except the first one.
