It was a wonderful Sunday from start to finish!
Coffee and Fellowship Church online after which I set Louis Dean up with football while I worked on dressing the kitchen for Christmas!
We drove over to the Bells and rode with Amber and the girls to Logan and Kailey's hockey game.
Sweet girls - all three!!!
We enjoyed watching Logan and Kailey in action on the ice and we loved our special time visiting one on one with Trystan.
And most of all getting to spend time with my precious Amber!
Kailey is 91!
And here is Logan in action!
From the ice rink, Amber drove us to Babe's in Farmer's Branch for dinner!
Love the Christmas decorations!
AND the FOOD!!!!
I ate way too much but enjoyed every single bite!
We all left in a food coma!
Full, relaxed and ready to go to bed!
Which is exactly what I did!
Monday was a good day to stay home and continue my decorating and cleaning.
The kitchen may take all week!
The reason Sunday was with Amber and the girls was that Harrison and Mike were and are in Fargo, North Dakota. Blizzard kind of weather has delayed their flight home tonight.
Thanksgiving is coming and I baked a pecan pie for Brenda....
I went through the pecan meats twice to make sure no shells sneaked in.
I learned to do that the hard way!
I trusted Louis Dean to check them but found he doesn't see as well as I do.
My Christmas cards arrived this evening and I will start addressing them on December 1st!
For those of you who do not receive them - just send your address to Artlady1948@gmail.com.
I ordered 200 cards and hope YOU receive one.
And for the Christmas painting drawing - if you comment as anonymous - please leave your name.
RHill,Tx - I appreciate your friendship and encouragement and would love to send you a Christmas card!
Again...Jodi W....you sent me the very first Christmas card for this year along with your new address.
Alas I lost that card and hope you will send me a note with your updated information.
While I have been working on tonight's journal entry, I was also watching the new 2025 film
Champagne Problems. I chose it for the scenery but it was a good film.
Louis Dean woke up this morning with pain in his right shoulder - so much so that he asked me to make an appointment with a doctor.
He fell in his room back in the late spring and landed on his shoulder.
He's been refusing to go to a doctor but today he cried uncle and asked me to make an appointment.
I jumped right on it and used the patient portal to his primary care and then jumped to the orthopedic
office I use.
He has an appointment on Monday afternoon and I am just so ashamed that I haven't scheduled an appointment earlier. He could already be well by now.
I make him do so many things so I think twice about forcing him to do what he doesn't want to do. I made a mistake in not moving forward with a doctor appointment way back in May but I will be more diligent moving forward.
As I finish up this journal entry, I put on the film Oklahoma!
Louis Dean loves that one!
Earlier today we watched Cheaper by the Dozen.
We are actually reading the book - for the third time.
It's the little things that make life better.
A good movie.
A good meal.
A good conversation.
A good visit with family and friends.
Because the little things are really big things!

Let me know what the doctor says about Louis Dean. I think if I had one word to describe Amber, it would be vivacious!!! Such a gorgeous smile and I can feel her sparkly personality through the screen!
Absolutely! It is all those little things are really such big things.
Happy Thanksgiving. Let us know how things go with the dr appt.
I love Cheaper By The Dozen! Happy Thanksgiving!
I was wondering where your 'guys' were at the hockey game. Then you mentioned Mike and Harrison, and you had a good picture or two of
Louis Dean, too.
I love it when you put pictures! Amber is beautiful, and you look so pretty in that " new to you" green jacket. You and Brenda are masters at yard sales. ( Or would that technically be "mistresses"?) You are both so good at finding things.
I've not accomplished all that much today, it seems. I've felt the Fibromyalgia a bit worse lately with the weather changes. I declare, it got down in the 30's last night and it's supposed to be up in the 70's tomorrow!
We send our love and "Happy Thanksgiving" to y'all. Thanks again for putting the pictures as you post-- I especially love seeing you and all the family in the blog.
Take care! I hope Louis' shoulder will feel much better soon. Now, don't you feel a bit of guilt about it! If he'd complained sooner, you'd have taken him sooner! Love you, girl!

Your dinner looks so good. No wonder you all left stuffed. That looks like a nice place to eat.
Hope all goes well at Louis Deans doctors appointment
I have sent you an email with my address. RHill, TX
Prayers Brenda
What the heck were they doing in Fargo?!?!? Much of North Dakota got pelleted the other day, I am not ready for the white stuff!
that photo of you and Amber together is just plain fabulous. I did not realize how much of you in in her.. wow, on the Fargo, they might not be home for Thanksgiving dinner. Hope LD's pain is something simple, like arthritis. not something broken. I love the entrance and porch to the restaurant.. I ate one piece of fried chicken two weeks ago, a breast and the next day OW! cramps so bad I thought of going to ER... I love fried chicken, but it is a no. I usually just pull everything off except 3 bites of the white meat.. Happy Thanksgiving and love you lots
Everything to love about this post Linda...and your Amber is so pretty!! Keep us updated on LD and his doctor's appointment. I'm sending you my address...this is such a beautiful card. I so enjoy hearing about the outings that you and Brenda have each week...I think this is wonderful and such a great break for you. You are precious and I love how up beat you are. Blessings...and enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving, which I know you will... hugs..
Linda you are such a blessing to Louis Dean and your family! Happy Thanksgiving Belinda
I emailed you this morning with my new address. Sending warm thoughts and prayers that Louis Dean is better soon,
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
