It's Thanksgiving Week

I started bringing out my Christmas decor on Sunday and putting away my fall decor. I listened to holiday songs and watched Elf. It's a good feeling. Then I get a recorded phone call from some political polling group and the first question is "Do you plan on voting in the November 2012 election?" And my thought is ... well Son of a Nutcracker. Let me at least get through the holidays before we start thinking about politics again. It's bad enough there is another recount in Minnesota for governor.

I got a new chair on Saturday. It is a recliner that belonged to my friend's mom (my sparent). She got a fancier one and offered this one to me. It's electric and with a push of a button the back goes back and the feet come up. It is also one of those chairs that can lift you out of the chair -- yes an old lady chair. Thankfully I don't need it but some day if I do, I'll have it. On the other hand it's fun to try but you have to be ready to get up because the first time I used it I kind of fell out of the thing. Oh well, it's an adventure. Last summer when my new friend Cameron, who is 3, was here he decided to give his great-grandma a ride on the chair. I looked over and poor Mrs. B was way up in the air hanging on for dear life. I thought she was going to fall splat on the ground. Really funny once it wasn't scary.

So get ready for some good eating and whatever the week will bring.
