Friday evening Darrel and Dr. Jeni, along with the three little ones arrived around 8:30pm. And, soooooo the weekend of our Turkey Day began! Lots of squeals, lots of talking, lots of "playing in Grammy and Pawpa's house"...........and....
On Saturday morning Becky and Rachel arrived about noon, bringing fresh roses for the centerpiece and some more food for the table. Dinner was around 1:30......and nine of us seated, we had a great turkey dinner!!!
The rest of the afternoon was spent in fighting off the results of tooooo much eating, a turkey that made us sleepy, and lots of toys and games and whatever all over the floors in each and every room. The favorite play area is in our large walk-in closet.....and, so before too long it was impossible to "walk in" this small "room". But.......we didn't need to get in there anyway.....
On Sat morning, Dr. Jeni/Darrel took Max into an urgent care center as he was running a fever and not feeling well.....sooooo easy to tell that when all he wanted to do was sit and be held on someone's lap! Then, they called from there and asked me to bring Meghan up there, as she had been complaining of a sore throat......as, Max was diagnosed with strep throat. Soooo, I ran Meghan up to Farmington....and.....yep, she, too has strep throat. Soooo, meds were received and by evening both were feeling a bit better.....
Yesterday, Becky and Rachel left about mid-morning........and the streppy ones were feeling a bit better...enough to run around and through the house playing their imaginary games. By yesterday evening, when Darrel/Dr. Jeni left, everyone was much better. Ava remained here with us.......her first time to spend a couple of days/nights with Grammy and Pawpa....and she did really well all evening after her family left. We will drop her off on Tuesday as we go north to the 1st Lady's mother's home for the rest of the week.
Myself???? Well.....I am feeling a bit of a cold arriving, my throat is now a bit "scratchy" and am wondering if I spent tooooo much time with those streppy ones the past couple of days???!!!! Sooo, last night I took a cold pill......I have to be careful as some of these can affect the desired results of my "plumbing pills" which keep things flowing normally.....how the hell did I reach this age of researching the affects of meds????????????????
This morning...the 1st Lady and Ava are still asleep, but will need to be awakened shortly. Later today we have a contractor coming over with a detailed estimate on replacing nine of our windows.....the only ones left that have not been replaced....they being the old wood ones which we have needed to replace for several years. Time to do it!!!!!! The bid is slightly less than $3000 so, I know we will tell him to go ahead and get it done.....quickly!!!
And soooo, there you have the summary of our Turkey Day......full of turkey and TheHowserHouse full of family!!!! GREAT weekend!!!
And....as always,
LIFE IS JUST REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!!!!!.....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
