Well, we had a good Thanksgiving around here. The girls all came home for the holiday plus my parents were here, too. We had a great time!! It is good to see all of these people together. It makes the holiday well worth all the effort put together by all.
We had to get all the Christmas decorations down yesterday so Betty could start putting things around the house. We knew this needed to be done before my surgery on Monday. Shane was here and provided a great big help. He handed everything down from the attic in the garage and Betty put it were it could sit until ready to bring inside. I tried to help some, but I am not much help right now. This is one of those things that drives me crazy, watching people do the stuff I USUALLY do. I moved some of this stuff and can tell it today. Shane had a million things to do around his house but this is typical of him. That is the kind of friend that I need! It was funny to hear him say the things I usually say about the amount of Christmas stuff we have. My wife does not decorate our house like most people do. She has stuff all over the house. I am used to it by now, but have really come to love the way she does it. I think we have as many trees in our house as all of the neighbors together. That is just the way it is around here!!!
Betty told me that my brother-in-law, Herb, is home from the hospital and is on quite a bit on medicines right now. He is one of those people in this world that has a hard time dealing with times like this, which puts more pressure on his family. I know what he is going through right now. I put my wife and kids through this, too. It is a hard thing to deal with, especially at this time of your illness. You want things to be right, but no matter how hard you try, they are not like you want them. It is hard to adjust to this change. Herb, my prayers are with you right now and I hope you get better. You are one of those people that deserves this!!!
Well, I will close for now and hope you talk to God today. He will help you out where needed. Don't be afraid to ask Him for help!!! I love you all so much!!!
