It's almost the end of this holiday. I'm tired and full of turkey dinner. My m-i-l has the TV turned up full blast and hubby is in the living room watching TV (probably asleep, he worked so hard for today). "The kid" made it up for dinner again this year, but he came up by himself. He's really a nice young man. I'm happy he turned out so well. It rained today so we didn't go to see hounds go out to hunt. They may not have been able to go because of the wet ground. It's hard for the hounds to find a scent when it gets wet and the ground gets slippery for the horses. Not a nice day to be out.
The only family members I had any contact with today were my aunt and my cousin. It was nice to talk to them. My dad's brother's family. The whole family is so close and sometimes I wish we had been brought up that way. Then I think of my dad and mom and I'd never change a thing. This time of year is still hard for me. Not as hard but still I really miss them soooooooo much. Thanksgiving is not quite as bad as Christmas because once mom and dad went to Florida to live, they only made it up for the Christmas holiday. It was so much fun!!! I miss having them to talk to and laugh with and especially to play cards with! After they showed us how to play Hand & Foot, that's all we did. Almost every night! The picture of the 4 of us around the kitchen table, dad and B. beating mom and I constantly, makes me smile. I love them so much!
