The employee who was going to help me Friday chose not to come because they were calling for a possible freeze. Said would come Saturday AM early but then he overslept so still have a list of things to get help with. I think he figured out it wasn't fun to drive 40 miles just to make a few bucks. He has turned out to be about as dependable as a fellow I used to hire. Good intentions but little follow through. I have a good handyman that I have used a lot and I will just call him.
I need to get the Christmas down from the attic. Our neighborhood puts lights on the trees in our front yards and have matching mailbox covers and wreaths. It makes the neighborhood look really nice. I am not going to do much inside this year. Don't have any social activities planned at my house and no one is coming here. I will be going to Dallas for a few days Christmas week.
I also need to get the hoses stowed in the garage. I think the rain and cold will probably do the geraniums in but I still want to put them in the garage too.
I went to Dallas Saturday and took the piano to my daughters house. Her sons unloaded it without any difficulty. Then we went to my grandsons house and I played with the new baby. Later we went out to eat. They were talking about what was going to be on the table for Thanksgiving and what my daughter was bringing and discussing how to make a dynamite apple pie. Have to admit I felt a little sad that I won't be there but I need to be with Cowboy and not leave him alone. Great visit.
Came home yesterday a bit tired but happy to have spent time with family.
It is cold, wet and near freezing today and am staying in and working through some piles. I always seem to have plenty of piles.
If the weather is not too bad tomorrow I am going to get out and do some shopping.
I stopped by to see Cowboy on my way home yesterday. He was doing fine and the aides reported that he ate a good lunch. He is unhappy that the weather is too bad to go outside. We ended up watching "Shrek" on TV. He was really paying attention and seemed to be enjoying it. With a freeze expected I didn't stay too long.
They tell me the home really does Thanksgiving up nice and I am looking forward to having dinner with Cowboy.
