One of my followers has showed me the error of my ways. I have been slow in adding new posts to my blogg. For that I apologize. Apparently the bloggers' manners states that I should be adding a new post at least once a week. So I will try to mend my ways and keep my blog updated. It is just that I cannot think of things to say. When one goes to work, which is less than 500 feet from my house, works all day then walks home what is there it say. I did have a wonderful Thanksgiving and I am enjoying the long weekend.
I was invited to two meals. The first was a Native American family which had a lot of babies. It had all the traditional Thanksgiving food. I brought Indian Fried bread, my new found talent apparently. They loved it. I nibbled on the meal since I was due at another meal in two hours. I could not however refuse to eat for, as I have said before, that would be rude. I was surprised because when my family gets together we are loud with talking and laughter and enjoyable noisey activity. However the native family was very quiet, even the children. They are very soft spoken and enjoy long periods of comfortable silence. There were several elders there with long grey braided hair and wonderful expressive wrinkled faces. Their faces show their wisdom. Then off to my friend who is Norwegian. There was a small family with wonderful food and talking. Very homey but I was full when I finished. I spent the rest of the evening grading papers and getting caught up on the paper work.
On Friday, I went to Minot (2 hours away). I went to all the thrift stores looking for some things that can help me set up my art studio/office space. I got paint for some old book case I have that is unfinished and picked a couple things up at Kmart. I intended to go to a movie but I got tired and decided to go home and watch a movie. So that is what I am doing. I did make a contact with some high school friends on Facebook. I can hardly believe next summer is my 30th reunion. There is even a guy I barely remember but he is living in Rider ND about an hour away from me. Small world.
Now it is only about three weeks till I make it home for Christmas and I am excited. I was able to buy tickets for my sons to come home for Christmas too. I can hardly wait to see them and my brothers and sisters. I am now going to brew some tea and relax in my nice warm house. It has been warm in the 40's during the day and cold enough to freeze at night but no snow. I hear we are to have a mild warm winter of which I am thankful.
God is good all the time, ALL the time God is good. Happy Thanksgiving. Oh the photo is my lame attempt at drawing my dad. Practice makes perfect and I am practicing.
