I went and picked up Cowboy last Wednesday. There were 3 wrecks between Temple and Waco so it was slow going. I worried he would decide he had to go to the bathroom or walk around while we were stuck in traffic. At one point we decided to stop and eat and I took him to a BBQ place and he really enjoyed the food.
When we got home I set him down in front of the TV but he wouldn't stay. He kept going outside and I kept going after him while trying to get some baking done. While inside he kept opening every drawer he saw and examining the contents, picking up things, etc.
We had a very nice Thanksgiving. There were about 25 people during the course of the day. All of my daughter's sons and their respective families, some of her single lady friends, some of the grandson's friends. Think there were about 8 kids under 12. We had lots of food and way too many desserts.
Cowboy sat at the head of the main dining table and ate a full plate of food I fixed for him, then he got up and filled his plate again himself and then had dessert. I don't know how he could hold it all but seemed to really enjoy every bite.
He seemed to really enjoy all the kiddos especially our one year old great grandaughter.
I took a very weary Cowboy back on Friday and helped with some of the decorating of the Memory Unit at the home. I had bought Santas for each door, we had the stockings from last year and there were some children from a home school group who decorated the tree. Nice time.
I then left and drove down to Georgetown. Arrived in time to go the a rehearsal of my old band mates and visit with them. Then I went to a friends house and ate dinner with her and her hubby.
I then drove over to Ft Hood and spent the night and hit the PX. Had to get back to Dallas in time for a dentist appointment at 3. Everything worked out fine. I lost a crown last week and was lucky that he could use it and just recement it. Lot better than the cost of a new one!!
Developed a low tire on Sunday and stopped at Pep Boys. They said everything was fine and light should go out. It didn't.
Took the car to the dealer yesterday and found their compressor had exploded. interesting..... Anyhow, had to go back there today and learned there was a very small hole in one tire. They patched it so at least didn't have to buy a new tire.
Have plans to go see Cowboy tomorrow and then go on to Georgetown again. Am staying the night with a friend and going to the dulcimer practice on Saturday to visit. Am going to try to see as many folks as I can while I am there and then going to the old neighborhood's party Sunday night, lunch with a few neighbors on Monday, back to see Cowboy on way home and then home.
Roof goes in Monday and Tuesday of next week and then am having the house thoroughly cleaned on Wednesday. I have been doing all the cleaning on the first level since moving here but am considering hiring someone to do it from time to time.
My daughter is working on the game room. Packages have arrived with a clock, a shot glass cabinet and a pool table light fixture.
