THANKSGIVING?

Doesn't seem like Thanksgiving, at least the turkey day I am used to. There's no family around, no leftovers, I;'m working, not watching football, just a cold day like 34 degrees. In Waco, Lubbock, or El Paso, the weather is around 60-70 degrees and nice and warm. In all those places, I have family to spend the holidays with. It's my own fault I am here, but that does not change the facts as I have stated them. I did eat turkey yesterday at the Veteran's Administration in Grand Island, Ne., but............still missed all the things mentioned above, especially the kids and grandkids. I don't have any pictures to post, no funny quips about happenings, or any good stuff. I am going to make an effort to make it to Texas or close by for T[giving next year, just hope it works out. I did get to call and talk to almost everyone. My youngest daughter, who hated that i missed her wedding, i didn't get to talk to. She and her mom were making potatoes at the time I called so.................Then today, or yesterday, I got some disturbing news about my oldest daughter Cathe. I hope it is not true what is being said about her new boyfriend, because she would have gone from bad to worse as men go if so. I may just have to go to Dallas unannounced and see for myself. Oh woe be unto him...........
