Our Thanksgiving Holiday

I already had myself prepared that I might not feel well for Thanksgiving. I had prayed as I do daily for the side effects to be minimal. I kept my energy all week!! I woke up Wednesday & Thursday morning feeling incredibly good. We proceeded to go see Anthony's family in Jamestown. It is a two hour drive, but through God's grace the trip wasn't uncomfortable. Usually my body aches after riding or driving for a while. We spent the afternoon & left around 7:30 or so. Friday we just were lazy, but did manage to have a bit of excitement that afternoon. My very independent son, Austin, decided to hook up a game in the playroom by himself. This involves turning the t.v. a bit sideways. It is one of those at least a decade plus old & BIG & heavy! All the sudden I heard a huge boom & then a scream & running in the hallway upstairs. We flew upstairs to find Austin in his room crying. Afraid he was in trouble, he was apologizing & crying uncontrollably. We were just thanking God that other than it landing on his foot, he was okay. Anthony immediately assessed & iced his foot. He made him stay off of it which meant hanging out in front of the t.v. the rest of the day. Anthony didn't want to x-ray it until the next morning. It was sore, & bruised but not too painful surprisingly. We took him to Anth's office before leaving to go to my mom's house for lunch. The x-ray showed all those sweet little bones to be intact. By the grace of God is all I can say about that mishap. Hopefully he has learned his lesson. By the way...the t.v. came back on, but it is so heavy I couldn't help Anth get it back in the cabinet.

Lunch with my family was wonderful. So much delicious food, no one even wanted to think of dessert when we were finished. And to top the day off, our UT boys came through. Wow! What a game! To Atlanta they go. Wish we were going. I sometimes miss those days of UT football, but our kids stay so busy, it comes down to priorities. Thank you Lord for all the many blessings of family & friends that I got to enjoy. I pray for many more to come.
