Weekly Update 11/26/2023

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I did! Denise made a turkey breast, stuffing, two vegies and two pies. Jane made whipped potatoes and a broccoli salad. I made roasted brussel sprouts and I took wine. Denise also made little favors for the table, and we got to keep them. I did not leave that table with an empty stomach!

As I drove to the library this week, I noticed a lot of commotion going on at Pooler City Hall. Clint Eastwood is in town filming a new movie (I think the title is Juror 2). I didn’t see him, and when I asked the librarians, they said he had not been in to borrow a book.

I had a couple of events that I thought about going to - tree lighting, Ellis Square celebration, lighted boat parade on the river. But I just couldn’t get motivated. Getting my fat ass out of the recliner is becoming more and more difficult. It took me two days to get all the turkey décor boxed up and put back in the garage, and then get the Christmas stuff and nutcrackers out. I put up the little tree that Helen had given to me before she moved. My little apartment is all festive and ready for December.

Sunday, I was scheduled to give a tour at the cemetery. I would have been home for the kick off if the tour bus had arrived on time, but I didn’t miss much. It was raining and cold, and it was not my best tour. I also had a chance to stop at John and Dessie’s graves to take away the fall flowers and put up the poinsettias and pine cones. I didn’t give the Bills much of a chance against the Eagles, but they surprised me. If Tyler Bass had hit the field goals that he missed, it would have been a win in regulation time. Life isn’t fair.

Adrian and Annie had a pretty happy feast day. Brian and Sharon hosted, as they have for many years. As I understand it, the babies were the hit of the holiday. And Christmas will be even better!
