Thanksgiving and another adventure

My Thanksgiving turkey.

Jess preparing a delicious dinner in her kitchen.
Yolande preparing her stuffed pumpkin... wish you could have tasted it!


The finished stuffed pumpkin... a work of art.

John and Jess working on dinner.

Dave was in charge of the rolls!

Early b'day presents for John and Dave.... marshmallow guns.





And the adventure part..... Dad had a TIA (minor stroke) at 3 a.m. Thanksgiving morning but we didn't find out until Mom called him around 7 and he said he felt sick. Mom was waiting at the rehab center for dad to pick her up. Jim & Sandy followed the ambulance to the same hospital mom was in two weeks ago. They spent most of the day waiting for tests and to get him admitted. Mom spent the day anxiously waiting for news and for someone to bring her home.

As of today Dad is doing well and mom is home. Dad has to go to the same rehab center for about a week and it looks like mom is really rising to the occasion and coping at home on her own when Jim & Sandy aren't around.

Ask me how happy I am that they are in Ohio and not on their own in PA!!!!!

  1. Did you notice how perfectly positioned the turkey hat is with your star decoration? The early birthday gifts look like such fun! The Thanksgiving feast looked fabulous. Hope your parents are comfortable.
