Sunday Smiles

Hello Dear Blog Friends

Isn't this a wonderful season!!

Thanksgiving makes me smile.

I just love this time when we think of all of our blessings and give thanks.

It would be perfect for me except for one thing...

I am still not well.

I've stayed in bed most of the week hoping to get over the "yuckies" before my kids get here.

I am better...but not "better" enough!

My throat is not as sore as it was....which is a good thing...

...but my cough is no better...

My hacking all day and night is driving both John and me crazy...

...and we are both tired from me keeping us awake half the night.

...

However, I must share one smile with you tonight.

I've had a great laugh over it.

I hope you will too.

...

We have been taking care of Austin this weekend while his family is away.

Even though I am dragging I decided I should make a nice Sunday dinner for us.

I grilled steaks

Made buttery mashed potatoes

and had corn, etc.

...

I called John and Austin to come to the table.

I said "Hurry boys....I made steaks."

"We are having steaks for dinner tonight."

...

John and I sat down at the table but Austin would not come.

The more we called him the more he insisted that he was not hungry

and did not want to come.

Since I wasn't feeling good enough to pursue an argument I just let him be.

...

Later tonight Mindy called to say goodnight to Austin.

I told her that he would not come and eat dinner.

She asked him why he didn't want to eat with us.

He answered "because Grammy made mistakes for dinner.

"I don't like eating mistakes."

LOL

Well there you have it!

If you want your grandchildren to eat dinner with you

don't make mis-steaks.

...

Have a great Thanksgiving.... I know that we will.

My kids start arriving tomorrow...I can't wait.

I will be making all of the traditional holiday foods to enjoy with our dear ones...

... I am going to serve turkey and not "mis-steaks".

I will probably be too busy to blog but I will be thinking of you.

Hugs to all of you, Lura
