I don't have photos for now but will try to post them when I get back home over the weekend. Mom's Thanksgiving weekend srated yesterday when she got home from Talahi with Annie, Hannah, David, Leo and Cecelia Steve, Katie, Christopher and baby Lily coming for supper. After Mom was n bed Brian, Mickie and Jim came.  Mom started the day with a nice warm shower and breakfast. She picked hot cereal. (she usually chooses that when I am here.) A few quick naps in before the food was served. Brian grilled 2 turkeys. Also on menu was ham, wild rice, corn, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, orange jello, cranberry relish to name just a few of the foods prepared by everyone. Robbie and Jasmine came--they ate at Jasmine's family but still mangaed to find room for more good food here.  After dishes were done time for pumpkin pie, bars and a peacan pie. Rest time in her chair until time for bed. No Black friday shopping for me or Mom bur Annie and Cecelia might hit some stores. More later. Happy Thanksgiving!  Karen and all.

This morning (11-15-12) when I got Mom up I asked her how she was and she answered back "wonderful"
Life is pretty quiet for Mom these days. Denise takes her to P/T on Mondays and Doug gets her out on Tuesdays for their pork sandwiches at Dickie's. Wednesday she spends the day at Talahi Care Center and joins in on games and actitivies, lunch and a nap. Thursdays and Fridays I am here. Mom likes watching old TV shows like I Love Lucy and Andy Griffith. When weather permits we take a walk around the block. Weekends Brian, Kevin ,Ann, Doug (Denise) come. We celebrated Mom's birthday on November 8th.. We gave Mom a choice where to eat for supper and she chose to stay home with me. After Denise and family and Doug came for cake. She recieved cards and phone calls all day. We now look forward to Thanksgiving. I don't have my camera here to download photos but did get some from the home camera. One is one I just took today. We had a pumpkin sitting on deck on a TV tray table and some squirrels had fun chewing on it making a mess. Mom said Wow when I showed her. Other photos are kevin, Colleen and Mom picking the pumpkin from the garden. And an outing tot he re store in St. Cloud. Hope to get back sooner ---Karen
