Finally after many days of waiting the Thanksgiving video is ready to be seen. Hope everyone enjoys it. On another note lets put a good vibe out in the universe for Liz... At&t does not look good because of all the lay-offs and because they have Liz training to climb the poles (no joking) so think good thoughts. Dad came over for a homemade dinner.... bread (not knead bread), lasagna, & delicious chocolate-chocolate cake...ummm. Gary and I are off to Johnstown on Friday. I met the new Dentist today ... have 3 minor cavities (damn drugs dry my mouth).

Three cheers for Jenni today... first she made a Buche de Noel, it was her first attempt and it seems that it was a success, second- her team the "Juicy Fruits" won again and they all had a delightful feast on their winning from last week's tournament. Onto Brian... he picked his studio today... he was told that it will be finished soon, when it is I will post a pictures.
I am hoping to invite Grand-dad down for homemade Lasagna tomorrow.
I went to Macy's yesterday and purchased something... I talked with the sales clerk about coupons and sales.... told her I was willing to come back down to get the best deal- it was discussed not just once but many times over the entire conversation, it was a small item and she reassured me I was getting the best deal. But I came home and the flyer said later in the week the item would be 40% off not the 30% that I got. It just makes me mad at myself for not bringing the pamphlet with me to the store and the store clerks for not being aware of what sales will be going on later in the week.
If I had a patient and the family came to me and said, "I want to go home (a plane ride away) how is my mother?" I read her chart and talked with the doctor (which is what I would try to do as a good nurse) and know two days from now she is going to have a surgery that wasn't yet discussed with the family, do I say to the family that today she is great go home, (keeping in mind patients can always just die) or should I say- "I think it would be a good idea to talk to the doctor because he may have scheduled some procedures for your mother and before you make the decision about going home it would be in every one's interest to talk with the doctor." But to just look at what is just in front of you is short sighted. That is just my opinion and I will be going down on the weekend to take advantage of the 40% off!

New old News
Liz or Elizabeth as I insisted that we call her when she was named but, onto the new old news... Liz and Dad were talking and he discussed a story dealing with my Uncle Bobby. Bobby died in the Funeral Home in the 1970's I believe... he had always been like a traveling sales man but he sold VA insurance. Unfortunately Bobby liked to drink, we all knew this, inspite of his drinking at least to me he was a very friendly nice man. I remember the year Mom had him down for Thanksgiving Dinner and the food was being passed "past him" and he was finding it hard to get any food on his plate. But, Dad told Liz that when Bobby was very young- they owned or managed one of the Hotel/Taverns in their past. Well Bobby was playing with a friend by the frieght elevators in the hotel and he pushed a button, his friend must have been under the elevator and he was killed. Bobby never got over that experience and the family felt that is one reason he drank as much a he did.
