Today we went out to lunch to KFC and I nearly fell twice. The second time, Joshua was right around the corner at the table and jumped up really fast to come around to catch me. Joshua is handy to have around so we have decided to keep him, and besides that, he is good looking and when he smiles his dimples show.
We had planned to stop at Walmart on the way home but I was too tired so Bill said he would go back later. When we got back to Michelle's I laid down to take a nap. When I woke up 2 1/2 hours later I was extremely confused. I didn't know what day or what time it was, it is a terrible feeling to be so confused. I was totally disoriented. So when Bill got me up he said that we were having burritos and I couldn't figure out why we were having burritos for breakfast then Bill told me it was only 6pm.
Meredith came to help me with my Kindle. I am going to start reading the Falconer Files series by Andrea Frazer. Lorri described it as an English version of Andy Griffith and Barney Five.

November 29 - Loveland, CO
It was a quiet, "stay in your pajamas" type of day. It was cold and windy outside so I stayed in my cocoon. I had lots of time to read on my new Kindle. Lori and I like to read mysteries. She sent me a list of mysteries that I can load onto my Kindle. I am trying to finish the current book so I can get started on one from the list. There's an English version of Andy Griffith & Barney Fife type mystery. I look forward to reading it.
That's about it, I will spend the rest of the evening reading my Kindle. Told you it was a quiet day!

Happy Birthday Matthew! These past 18 years have flown by. You are now the tallest in your family. We will see at Christmas who is the tallest of the whole family, you or Coleson.
For Matthew's birthday dinner he chose lasagna which is always a very good choice. Meredith and the pups joined us for dinner. Joey barked as we sang "Happy Birthday". Matthew even got to pick out his own birthday cake. He chose one with layers of chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream. It was delicious. He only had three candles to blow out because we did not have 18 candles.
I had physical therapy this afternoon. Usually I have it in the morning but today I had it in the afternoon. We worked on specifics like me getting out of bed better, etc. When I got home from therapy I took a nap for a couple of hours. As they say in Texas.... "I was plum tuckered!"

We watched the Broncos game tonight, they are not doing a whole lot better then the Oregon Ducks are doing.
Bonnie called with a report on Todd. Some days are good and some days are bad. Sometimes he sleeps all day, sometimes he will be awake often. Who does that sound like?? ME! The physical therapist has been having Todd do some simple leg exercises to gain strength. The hospice nurse came and said that he should not do that but rest instead.
She is still parked at the Milwaukee Elks Lodge but has a place reserved at a private campground. Today she heard honking beside her coach. She looked up and saw an old man trying to park his motorhome. There was a suburban with him but not being towed. Every time that he needed to stop the suburban would honk to signal him to stop. After trying to park unsuccessfully, both the suburban and motor home left. I told Bonnie that I thought that was one of the scariest motorhome stories that I had heard.
I asked Brent if he was going to watch the Broncos game. He said that he wouldn't cheer against them but wouldn't cheer for them, so much for being born in the Motherland "Broncos Country".

Everyone in the household is blurry eyed because of watching football games all day long. I'm sorry to say that the Oregon Ducks lost the game to Oregon State Beavers. It was pouring rain sideways, sometimes it looked like it was snowing, but I am not sure. It had been 9 years since the Ducks lost the civil war. It is one of the oldest college civil war rivalries. Maybe we will get them next year.
Meredith and Dwaine come home from Telluride because they were predicting 2-3 ft of snow in the mountains. Hapa was glad to have them come home but the pictures that Dwaine took were magnificent. It is a very pretty area. It took all of Hapa's strength and energy to keep the other two dogs (Buckeye and Max) in line.

Today was a lazy day after all that good food! Bill says 'Yeah for leftovers!". But the mac & cheese was all gone. Bummer! I stayed in my PJ's all day! Haha came to visit us this evening. She jumped up on the bed and wagged her little tail when she saw me. Then she laid on the bed and let me pet her for a long time. It was a nice relaxing day.

Happy 18th Birthday Coleson!!!!!! I can't believe you are so old!!!!!
We had a wonderful feast at Michelle's. It was prepared by Joshua and Connor, they did an excellent job with all the usuals of turkey, salmon, twice baked potatoes, green beans, broccoli and cauliflower, rolls and gravy. Natalia brought our family tradition "broccoli and rice with cheese". It is always a family favorite. Natalia also brought her boyfriend, Alex. He fit right in with our crew, which says a lot about him. We had a good visit. No one left the table hungry. Natalia and Alex left first to head to his family's house for a later Thanksgiving dinner.
We are all tired from full tummies and will save the desserts for a late dinner.
We discussed the cookie box that Michelle and Meredith will send in December. My Aunt Laura started the tradition years ago because she loved to bake. It was always the most anticipated package that we got every Christmas. When she had to go to a nursing home the girls took over the tradition.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
