Last year my home town, Pendleton, IN, had a fun FB trend of people photographing their cars, tractors, mowers, etc in the lights of this beautifully lit bridge. The joke started as serious pics of cool cars shining under the lights and turned into photoshopping weird, silly things.
I enjoyed every post and had to drive by and see this pretty backdrop in person when I visited over Thanksgiving. Maybe (if I ever get a free moment) I’ll do some photo magic with it myself.
We had hospital cafeteria food in the guest lounge for Thanksgiving dinner. While I felt bad leaving my husband and out of town guests back at my house to turkey wrangle, and the reason for my visit was not a happy one, I still had a wonderful time with my sister’s family while eating grilled cheese instead of a more traditional meal.
My sweet boy hadn’t seen his aunt Bobbie in a while and hadn’t been able to drive all the way to Kansas from North Carolina for the holiday, so he took the opportunity to meet me in Indianapolis. Much closer!
I rarely get time with my son, this was precious to me. It’s been a good year for spending days with him. In August, Rich and I saw Adam in NC and I got to go rock and mushroom hunting with him. Then in September, he came to KS to put in a studio floor for me. Now, an Indy trip too.
And soon, he will bring Dewdrop for Christmas!
He and I weren’t Bobbie’s only visitors, by far. Every time a doctor came into the room, he’d do a double take at the size of her entourage.
The room was always so full, that seating was scarce. You know that Netflix show, “Is it Cake?” I was always playing, “Is it a Chair?” in the hospital room. We sat on many non seats for seating. Bobbie one time mentioned we could use the beeping from her machinery to switch seats in a musical chair game.
My witty, kind hearted sister is keeping good spirits through her illness. I admire her for that, just as I have always looked up to her and learned so much from her all of my life.
I adore my sissies, what wonderful friends they are to me.
