Fact:<\/strong> Thanksgiving is the busiest day for plumbers!\u00a0 <\/strong>Who do you think will be the busiest person on Black Friday?\u00a0 Nike Sales Manager?\u00a0 Walmart Staff?\u00a0 Or Your Plumber?\u00a0 You’re on the right track if your answer is the third option.\u00a0 Plumbers are the busiest people after Thanksgiving, all thanks to the food they ate during Thanksgiving dinner.\u00a0 Reports say that people call plumbers for various reasons, such as clogged-up toilets, kitchen drains, and garbage disposals.<\/em><\/p>\n

We heard the pitty-pat of eight little turkeys above our office.\u00a0 What could it be, Turkey Claus, perhaps?\u00a0 Well, to our surprise, as soon as we got to the top of the stairs, the window flew open, and we saw eight little rein-turkeys attempting to get out the window at the same time!\u00a0 It was like a Chinese fire drill!<\/p>\n

\"\"

They left us a present!<\/p><\/div>\n

Much to our delight, the little fellas left a Thanksgiving Tree for us to delight in since we were home alone today!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Decorations everywhere!<\/p><\/div>\n

They must have worked all morning on this tree, but they did an excellent job, and we just stood there in amazement, wondering a) which of us left the darned window open last night, and b) who is going to clean up the turkey poop!<\/p>\n

\"\"

The tree was worth the cleanup effort!<\/p><\/div>\n

As you know, we are alone today, thanks to my getting COVID, but that is not so bad when you share it with someone you deeply love.\u00a0 We got up a little late this morning, just letting those nasty germs get eaten by the good ones.<\/p>\n

We had our morning ration of pills, magic elixirs, and potions.\u00a0 I feel like a pharmacy and that I am single-handedly keeping CVS afloat!<\/p>\n

We walked in the garden and enjoyed the morning sun’s heat; sitting and getting warm was quite pleasant.\u00a0 I did ask Scout, the Wonder Dog, if he wanted to go for a walk, and his response was priceless.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For most of the day, we sat and watched movies on TV.<\/p>\n

Dr. Mary prepared a beautiful meal on our ready-to-go-for-ten dinner table.\u00a0 \u00a0The turkey was fantastic, as well as the other goodies.\u00a0 Just sitting across the table from Mary made me grateful for having a wonderful life, even with its ups and downs.<\/p>\n

\"\"

We missed everybody, but better safe than sorry!<\/p><\/div>\n

Colleen had the whole family over, which, I am sure, was a madhouse.\u00a0 Jon, our oldest grandson, has grown into a real man, and we eagerly await his decision to start a family!<\/p>\n

Three grandkids and four great-grandkids make for an excellent picture!<\/p>\n

We continued to watch TV but got up for some pumpkin pie.\u00a0 After Mary fell asleep on the couch, I put away everything and straightened up the kitchen before waking her up and helping her go to sleep.<\/p>\n

I wandered off to my new bedroom (called Robin’s Nest) and had a good night’s sleep.\u00a0 COVID shall disappear soon!\u00a0 It’s like the nasty flu.<\/p>\n

As I lay down, I noticed a pain in my backside; could it be another COVID symptom?\u00a0 I asked Mary to check on it.<\/p>\n

\"\"

(I am in trouble for this one!)<\/p><\/div>\n

Lying in bed, I thought a lot about today.\u00a0 While we missed everyone, we did enjoy the quiet of just being together and enjoying our own company.\u00a0 Mary is just a lovely person, even when the flu makes her “grumpy.”<\/p>\n

\"\"

We were together in our thoughts!<\/p><\/div>\n

Mary and I hope you had a magnificent Thanksgiving and shared the same love we share in our home with each other.\u00a0 I am truly blessed!<\/p>\n

God Bless The United States Of America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
