Thanksgiving night

 It is a beautifully clear night.  The stars we see from the city are shining bright. I hear geese flying over.  

Jeanette,  Robby and Riley joined us for dinner.  Jess worked all week to plan and cook dinner but didn't join us to eat.  Neither did Jazz. I have no clue why Jess lets Jazz do things like that except that maybe it's just because she herself does things like that.  Sometimes I worry that she is making Jazz more like her somehow, but that is crazy thinking,  right? 

Dinner was beautiful with everyone talking,  sharing stories,  ideas, and humor.  Riley was quieter than usual but he was pretty sick.  Jami joined us and joined into everything going on.  Robby was lively and fun. He also helped me clear the extra furniture out of the living room.  😄 I hope it makes Jess happier but she thinks I only did it because Jenise and Phillip might visit this weekend.  I told her that was ridiculous.  That stuff has been piled in the living room when others have visited and I didn't get that room cleared.  I physically couldn't do it myself so it's been really upsetting when Jess would complain about it.  I just felt helpless.  But I thought about having the boys help me when they all came over.  I'm glad, too, that it is finally done! There are still things in there that need moved but I can move them,  they aren't heavy,  except the books, and I still hope to find a good book case for what is left of my book collection.  I had hundreds of books but they have been lost over the years.  Left in boxes without bookshelves for them and then getting wet in a basement or left behind when we were moving until I have a very small collection.  I'm going to leave them stacked where they are. This is my last home.  I Will get them a bookshelf!! An it will be nice to have a little extra room when Jenise,  Phillip and Elliot visit! 

 The food tonight was all amazing! Well,  if of the desserts Jeanette made was a bit of a fail.  It was something she saw on tick tock and that's always a little risky to try! Robby even made a really good banana pie.  Jess's turkey was the best I have ever had. I was worried when I saw that she put a lemon inside of it before baking it but I didn't taste lemon at all.  Just an very tasty and juicy turkey! Jeanette and I ate until we were both going cross eyed.  Literally.

Happy Thanksgiving!!
