We got lots of Christmas lights put up
in the warm beautiful weather on Saturday and Sunday, just in time
for sleet and ice on Monday. It was nice to have the warm weather to
decorate and we could actually feel our fingers this year compared to
a few years in the past when the wind was blowing and it was
freezing. It has to come this time of year but I sure do dread it.
One nice thing about getting older it seems like winter goes past a
lot faster than it did when I was young. Then it seemed like years
between Thanksgiving and Christmas and now it seems like a blink of
the eye.
Our Thanksgiving Day was wonderful.
Lots of family and friends and fun times. Lots of food, probably too
much but it sure was good. On the other hand, it turned into a not so
good day for our grandson, Hayden. Hayden was injured in a freak
accident on the last Saturday of deer season while cleaning a deer
and the hide gave way all at once, the knife slipped and stabbed him
in the abdomen. His parents took him to the ER and he got stitched up
but a large hematoma formed and got infected and was also pushing on
his insides and he was in a lot of pain. So he tried to enjoy
Thanksgiving Dinner with the family but his mom could tell he was in
pain and by the time they got home he was in a lot more pain and the
decision was made to go back to the hospital. He was admitted and
started on IV antibiotics every four hours. He finally got to come
back home on Sunday afternoon and is feeling better but still can't
go back to school for awhile or play basketball. Of course we don't
care about the school or basketball just as long as he heals the way
he should.
