The news is filled with breathless warnings about the terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad snow storm we are expecting. The last I knew, they were calling for 9-12 inches. At the Thanksgiving, my niece pulled out her phone. Much to my surprise, her weather was calling for 2-3 feet. I'm not sure where that report came from.
I've been keeping an eye on this storm for the most trivial of reasons. I have a hair cut tomorrow afternoon. Now, bear in mind that I had my last hair cut in June, just before my stylist took the summer off for a hip replacement. She returned in the fall and had quite a backlog of people. I made this appointment a couple weeks ago, and tomorrow was the earliest that she could get me in.
And...so...I'm just hoping the this weather hype is mostly hype.
Thanksgiving was nice. As the saying goes, many hands make light work. I made my cranberry sauce last night. I got up this morning and baked a chocolate cake and frosted it. I had time to relax before popping the ham in. About an hour before we left the house, the corn casserole went in on the bottom rack. A lot easier than doing the whole meal yourself.
It was a nice time. A little sad because some of them were there to bury their mother tomorrow. But everyone talked and it was fun to listen to them. Saturday is the first day of rifle season for deer, and so phones were being passed around to show the monster bucks. The youngest great nieces and nephews ran around playing well together. The oldest are grown. How on earth has this happened?
After we got home, there was an e-mail from another niece who was not there. She's expecting a baby in May.
The circle of life, isn't it?
So that was Thanksgiving, and I am thankful.
I will even more thankful if I can get that haircut.
I hope that everyone had a nice day, no matter whether this was an ordinary day, or a celebration for you.
The lady that has cut my hair for the last 13 years moved out of state. I need a cut really bad, but everyone was busy this week for the holiday of closed for the weekend. I cut some of it off and now it is grown to the point a hairdresser can even it up or maybe make it look even. I have natural curly hair, so it does whatever it wants if it gets too long. My family is out of state or country, so I spent a nice day reading and watching YouTube and took a nice long nap. Happy late Thanksgiving to you.
