Hello From Rockville

I am thankful for so many things and today was a day filled with so many blessings. If you remember yesterday's blog, Harlan had asked about today. When I had made reservations for dinner across the street I had told them six but there were only five of us going. After much thought and discussion with family I decided to take Harlan. I called the VA and cancelled his dinner then went in about noon to get him, he said he was tired and wasn't sure if he wanted to go, just not like him, but he got ready and we went to Rockville for our Thanksgiving dinner. I was glad he decided to go as I had cancelled his dinner and he would have had nothing to eat. We had a wonderful dinner, several kinds of potatoes, jello salad, ham, turkey, cranberries, corn, (no green bean casserole) stuffing, gravy, rolls and banana bread, and anything we wanted to drink, I had coffee and pop, this was topped off with pie - blue berry, apple or pumpkin and as much as you wanted. Rick, DeeAnn, Adam and Kelsey joined us. After stuffing ourselves we left, I took Harlan back to the VA and the rest retired across the street for naps. Because Harlan was not taken home he had no problem going back so that went well. I stayed for a short time with him and he decided he needed a nap, he walked me to the elevator and he went back and laid down.

After I got back home I had another blessing, Myrna stopped, she has been staying with her daughter Sue in St. Cloud, she had had surgery about 10 days ago and needed a place to recoup and a place where her dog was welcome, it was good seeing her and she looked so good, her plans are to return to Crosslake on Saturday.

Today was a very good day, I hope yours was as well.............Fran
