The Days of Thanksgiving
Tuesday, 1981
Getting ready for the Big Day. Every day is a brand new one where I forget yesterday and live today, dedicating my day to my idea of God, to live it with gladness and humor. Work is therapy, especially preparing for a Turkey dinner with Plum Pudding, ordering beer, making salads, etc. Doing cleaning up after is no easy chore but my mind was not troubled.

Went to Ann's for dinner. Waiting for us. Katy, George and children there. As we approached I noted a large mobile home on wheels in Ann's driveway. (Mike repossessed it. Children really had an uninhibited time playing in it.) Cold day. Ann's mother-in-law brought the turkey, browned as I like it, at 4:30. We had a good dinner. Mimi showed us her birthday presents. Got home at 9:00. Ilsa and Heidi dropped into bed.
Friday, 1992
Brighter day. I resolved to live as happy as possible, forget the dismal days - make every day a sunshine day. Hair done - Annette's husband there. Mary a little down. Walked over to Dora's - Virginia and she went to Joe's for dinner on Thanksgiving. Never does she pity herself, because of her sight -- she is thankful for many blessings. I must try to control my excessive talking- a definite symptom of age- over glamorizing. Rose called at 8. Went shopping at Gabes - got bargains for Christmas. I notice Christmas lights outside in Roscoe.
