Starting the count down….

Starting the count down…. 

 

We start the count down… in just a mere 2 days is Thanksgiving..  Which may be a shadow of former celebrations…  A lot of the states are condemning the gatherings of family and friends.  Even to the point of asking for neighbors to spy on neighbors. (Germany Nazi like)   Thankfully we don’t live in those states.  And my heart goes out to those who do.   This is really going to be hard for some families. As it is their once a year gathering of all the aunts, uncles and cousins along with the grandparents.

 

We are keeping ours small. We are allowed 10… but we will have 7.  All of us health.  It will be different.  For one thing, right after we eat…. The King is taking meals up to his brother’s house for his sister in law. They are home from the town they go to for the treatments.  He has one more week to go.  So of course they can’t join us.. but we want to be sure they have a meal. 

 

So then we get the meal over..  but there isn’t any run to the stores for the big sales. I don’t know if the paper will be extra thick as it is every year.. with all the ads for the towns near us… As far as I know there isn’t even going to be Black  Friday this year.. The stores have been running a partial Black Friday on weekends.. doing different products each weekend.

 

Seems like all traditions are going to the wayside.

 

Then it will be Christmas shopping for 3 weeks.. but how much puff will be taken out of that as well, we will see.  And then there will be New Years Eve and day.. A lot of us are looking forward to that… hoping 2021 is better than this year.

 

So I will be thinking of you all, and our family and friends we can’t get together with. Wishing you all a wonderful day, hopefully phone calls … zoom calls and etc. will help. God Bless and be thankful for all you have.
