Wednesday - November 26, 2008

Today was a very quiet day for us. It was kind of sunny this morning but clouded over this afternoon and was fairly cool with a high of about 50F (10C).

Last night I had a call from my sister, she retired from teaching at the end of October and yesterday she went skating with a friend and fell and broke her right wrist – what a bummer!! She needs surgery on the wrist but because she is on blood thinners she has to get that adjusted, so is not having the surgery until next Monday, then she will be in a cast for 6-8 weeks. She is right handed, and like me has lymphedema in her left arm, so is in a bit of a mess, we feel so bad for her.

This morning I did laundry and cleaned the trailer and then this afternoon we went out and got some groceries, what an exciting day! Tonight we are going to go across the road to the Branding Iron for dinner – I’m looking forward to it.

We were going to leave here tomorrow but the weather forecast is so dismal for where we are heading that we have just decided to stay until Friday – we don’t really want to drive in rain and perhaps snow showers! There are storm warnings for southern Utah which is where we are heading so one more day here is probably a wise decision. Have I mentioned that the nice part of this type of travel is that plans are made in jello and easily changed! We really don’t like traveling over Thanksgiving but hopefully Friday won’t be too bad. John went over to the office to pay for the extra day but they are closed and are closed tomorrow, guess they will see we are still here and let us straighten up with them.

No pictures today, I didn’t even take my camera out of it’s case. We want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow.

And so ends another great gift of a day and we are looking forward to tomorrow, even though it will probably be a very quiet stay at home day.
