November Events The Grandbabies Once again, I get all my little people together for a day. I still can’t get these hams to pose for a decent photograph. They played until I couldn’t take it anymore. Oddly enough these four individuals sound like a gang of ten when they are all together. I love them all. They give me great story ideas as I watch them interact. Their personalities mirror many of the traits that my sons have. It is amazing to see how characteristics from my husband manifest from son to grandson. When I disagree with my grandson, and he sounds like my exhusband, I have to take a deep breath to remember it’s all in the genes and he can’t help himself. I recognize that the time I have with each of them is precious during their development. The time I spent with my grandmother wasn’t much fun because we did what she wanted to do. My mother spent time with my sons, and she tried to do things that they wanted to do. I spend time with my grandchildren and try to plan everything that a young school-aged child interests. These days only come around once, and I make the most of them. Thanksgiving Have you ever awakened at the onset of the holiday season and decided that you cannot muster a Thanksgiving Day meal? All the cooking, preparation, and entertaining was more than I could bear this year. I usually get invited somewhere, but this year, I didn’t. This year, I invited myself to a family member’s home. I didn’t drop in. I called and said that I was coming and what do I need to bring. After receiving my cooking assignment, all that was left to do was be a little early to submit my dish to be on display with all the others for the meal. It has been a few years since I spent time with these family members. We had the best time. It was warm, welcoming, and loving in every sense of the word. The holidays should not be the only time that you let people know that you care. I know that I have said it once, but once again, I would like to say thank you to my extended family.
