Giving Thanks

First I give thanks that we are all safe, healthy, and can gather for the holiday.  Secondly, I give thanks we survived the holiday.  With two extra adults, two grand children, and lastly two active dogs there is never a dull moment around the house.  Fortunately we had good weather and weren't cooped up in the house.  Between early morning Black Friday shopping (yes, it's a tradition when the family is in town),  going to the Lights Before Christmas (it was very cold Friday night), going to Costco,  and other activities it was non stop activity.  As usual the Nurse and I collapsed for a quick cat nap after everyone left. 

Speaking of the dogs.  Our squirrels have the "number" of the little dog.  They teased him every chance they got.  The ultimate was when one looked in one of our big windows that looks out on the lake.  It was like the squirrel was daring him.  Of course the dog didn't have a chance of getting the squirrel and it just drove him bonkers.  And then it seemed like the blue jays got into the act.  There was a lot of frustrated barking going on.  The big dog seems must wiser and only reacted when she had the chance to go outside.

Go Bucks!  That was a great game if you're a Buckeye.  All except for the injury to J. T. Barret.  Now we'll see what kind of team they really are.  I wouldn't bet against them,  but I think it'll be awfully tough to get in the playoff even if the they win the Big 10 Championship.

I was thinking of play golf today, but we really need to start decorating  for Christmas.  Since the family won't be here this year maybe we'll tone it down a bit.

Back to work,
