Thank you Thanksgiving

So Lori is out of her “Prison” of sorts now, she really didn’t think that she would have to stay in her room without any outside contact the whole time. The holidays were a bit of a mess for the whole family. First my Mom is breaking out in some sort of rash on her arms and legs. She believes is her heart medicine she’s been taking. Whatever it is, she wakes in the middle of the night with scratching fits causing her to not sleep so well.
My PG lost a brother a few days before Thanksgiving, in fact so close that the funeral was the day before. After my PG had his stroke a few years back he tends to be more emotional. Not bad, every guy should show his feelings; he is more affectionate and talkative to everyone. Although, he does have a bad habit of repeating jokes over and over and does a few things backwards. Our dilemma with him was telling him how soon his brothers demise would really be, not that he didn’t know he was sick just not the extent. Well that was soon exposed when another brother blurted it out in the bluntest of manners. My PG took it well.
Thanksgiving was to say the least filling. The first time in a while that Jacks stayed more than a day, in fact my G and Mom really wanted him to hang out a few more days. We ate of course most the afternoon and discussed who would be getting what item for the little guys in the family. This year Lori was included in the discussion since she found out about the “Christmas Secret”. She felt like a big girl but continued to sit under Jacks the whole time.
The twins Gabe and Riley are big slobber monsters and coo and goo to every ones pleasure. Rolling about on the floor, while Camen looks over them, their big sister is very protective, Jacks had been dying to hold the two rascals and finally got the chance, the whole time getting a glare from her.
We did the usual going out on Thursday night and eating at a restaurant so that my G and Mom and whatever aunts were about could relax and have someone wait on them. Friday was spent of course with the ladies doing their black Friday shopping. PG and Jacks roamed in later to help bring in boxes and packages. Jacks wasn’t up to part with the Flu or a cold or whatever which later was to be pneumonia. Saturday we had breakfast and relaxed a bit, later on Jacks packed up to go home an idea my Mom wasn’t happy with.
