I took last week off for Thanksgiving. I spent a few days helping Jody move to her new apartment. It was a lot of work since her new place is on the third floor. Later in the week we went to my grandparents’ house where my family did the Christmas gift exchange and Thanksgiving thing. There were about twenty-five people there this year which is about ten or so less than last year. Due to last year where a few people brought liquor and alcohol-related items as gifts my Southern Baptist grandmother made sure to get the word around that no such thing would be allowed this year. It’s funny how in my family there is this pushing of boundaries especially with my grandmother. I think it is done tongue in cheek, but sometimes it does seem immature sometimes. It’s like the same joke year after year. She can be fussy at times, but it is her house and she does go to a lot of trouble to make dinner and have everyone over.
On friday morning, we went up to Oklahoma to visit with Jody’s family for Thanksgiving. I always enjoy going up there and being outside and doing strange and novel things like waking up when the sun comes out. I think I could live out in the boonies if I had a good enough internet connection. Otherwise, it’s totally out of the question.
I’m dogsitting for a friend of mine so Truffles came with us. She had a nice time I think. Here she is sitting on a bale of hay:
