Brian and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving, spending it with Jessamyn and Jay's family in Gordon. Our grandson Taylen had shot a wild turkey and we ate it along with a domestic one for our special Thanksgiving meal. There was so much food and lots of Texas Hold"em laughs. I TRULY LOVE THANKSGIVING! We have so much to be thankful for!
Paqui, Marc, Brian and I went to Fort Collins, CO to meet up with Brian's brother and his girlfriend Laurie to go see Michael Franti and Spearhead in concert. We all got in the old Suburban and went to the 1st National Bank Center in Broomfield, CO to see their show. It was fabulous!!! I shook my bootee all night long. Laurie graciously let us all camp out after the show at her house. Jessamyn and the boys watched Zeyda while we all took off to the concert. Then we met at our house in Alliance on Sunday evening so Paqui could pick up Zeyda and not have to travel so far to Gordon.
It is now time to pull out the Christmas decorations and put away all my fall ones. It takes me a couple of days to get the house decorated. For some reason, I always forget where I put my decorations from year to year. Brian and I are thinking about going to the Pine Ridge near Chadron to cut a live tree. How romantic, just the two of us. Get the mulled cider ready! We are fortunate to have just our immediate family come celebrate Christmas day with us this year.
Brian has been feeling pretty good this last week. It takes him about seven days to get over his chemo therapy. He is traveling back to CTCA on the December 8th for another treatment. Brian thinks he will be able to handle the trip alone since he is only getting his blood drawn and receiving chemo. He will also be seeing the physician's assistant again. I am planning on going next time in January when he is suppose to have another CAT scan and see his doctor.
Brian and I are still planning our big trip to Hawaii and New Zealand in February and March. It has been in the works for over six months and Brian says he isn't going to miss it!
Everyone have fun preparing for Christmas. It has been a cold and blustery few days here with not much snow to get me in the mood.
