What a way to start off Thanksgiving Day

My eyes blinked open this morning about 7:15. Sherri was still asleep. I laid there for a while thinking about what all I needed to do today and then I realized it was Thanksgiving Day!

I swung my legs out of bed and and pulled the rest of me out from under the covers. It did not feel cool inside which is a good thing because they are calling for colder weather to hit today. I beat the cold weather up and I told myself I would have time to finish some projects outside before the first blast of cold air hit the park.

I went down into the kitchen and got the coffee on. I took my shower and then went back to the kitchen to pour me a cup. While reaching around to get a spoon I drug the vegetable chopper off the counter and thanks to gravity it went to the floor cutting my big toe.

OK so here I am hopping around in the kitchen...toe bleeding...me trying to find the paper towels...and trying not to bleed all over everything. I finally got a towel off the dispenser and held it on the cut. This was not working at all so I had to call Sherri and wake her up. She told me to come to the bedroom so she could see to me but I told her that would not be a good idea seeing as how I was bleeding pretty good. She said that she would bring me a band-aide and some antibiotic. Well when she got down to the kitchen and saw the cut toe...Sherri does not do good with blood...she had to sit down and compose herself.

She did get herself together and bandaged up my wound. We do not have any tape for cuts so we had to use some packaging tape and a paper towel for my dressing. All is well now.

Sherri said that she would need to go to Wally World to get some things for tonight. While she was there she would get me some real bandages. I just sat back and tuned in the football game.

Here I set in my recliner toe in the air bandaged with a paper towel some packaging tape and a white sock pulled over it. I will have to remain here most of the day.

We do have football games today so I will be able to recline here and watch them. The weather outside is not conducive to setting out so all will be well with me. I just want to be able to eat with everyone for Thanksgiving. We are having Taco Soup and it sounds soooo good. I can't wait for that first bowl.

The time finally arrived for us to go to the activity room and eat. Sandy and Brenda made taco soup and let me tell you they were both delicious. We had corn bread and salad and for dessert we had apple pie and pecan pie with vanilla ice cream on top! OK so it's not on my diet...this is Thanksgiving.

We all watched the Cowgirls get beat by the Saints...Go Saints! We all wanted to watch the A&M game but it was not on the cable channels we have so everyone packed up and went home. We had a wonderful time with all our friends this Thanksgiving. Sandy and Weldon will be leaving tomorrow for Canton Texas. Soon we will all separate and go our different ways but we will always have these memories we made...
