Happy Birthday to me.

So today kinda sucked. We went to the assisted living place and had lunch with my grandfather (their Thanksgiving dinner - at noon) and can I say institutional food is gross? But we went there to see him and have lunch with him (which is really the only good thing). After lunch he napped (for those that don't know he is ninety-three and his wife, my grandmother, died on Friday - which he only occasionally remembers). So it wasn't a really happy time. Then I went home with my folks and since the weather was balmy for New England in late November, my mother and I pruned some of the trees in the front of their house. And then she taught me the origami paper crane (this was cool and the best part of the day.). Then I stayed for soup for dinner. Not really your normal Thanksgiving fare. And we won't do anything about my birthday until Saturday at lunch.

I really hope everyone else had a better Thanksgiving than I did.

Thanks, Liss! We were expecting her to go. She had alzheimers for many years, and she's lived apart from my grandfather for several years - which is why he's so confused. Thanks also for your birthday wishes. I appreciate that! ***
