Anita, hello and how are you doing today?  Are things at work any better? 
I saw where the Tuscaloosa support group is going to be meeting Dec 4th, at 5:30 at Barnes and Nobles,  I am going to try to make that meeting if my folks from Virginia are gone.  I wrote one of the ladies about more information.  I still have not heard anything from Judy Nutt at EMEPA about the start up of the Meridian group again.  Will have to call her again this week to find out.  Will keep you posted and also hope to meet you if I get to attend the meeting in Tuscaloosa in Dec.  Farmgirl58

Well, we decided to day that Thanksgiving will be at my house since I am the closest to the ALF where my grandmother lives. I hope your mom has a safe and uneventful trip to your house (and back). I hope you have a wonderful visit.

I ordered a Thanksgiving box from Angel Food. For $30 I can feed our entire family with leftovers! And instead of driving to and from Iowa to visit family, we just bought a plane ticket for my mom to come down & visit us Thanksgiving week. She's mentally-challenged and can't drive so she's skittish about flying. But it's non-stop and it's less than 2 hours in the air compared to a 24 hour bus ride for her, or 24 hours of driving for us. So wish us luck on that.

It's almost Thanksgiving??? Where has this year gone? I certainly is flying by. So, are you already planning your Thanksgiving? If so, share your plans. Ours are sort of up in the air for right now. My grandmother has been very sick this past year. She has gone from living indepentantly to moving into an assisted living center all since March. Pretty much any little thing wipes her out. She is feeling bad because Thanksgiving will not be at her house this year. Plans are a little up in the air until we see how she is feeling (which will be the week of). We are talking about going to a nearby restaurant. Time will tell. Then we will also be having Thanksgiving at my mil's. The holidays are always soooo busy and way too much food....

Is smelling good!! I put on a crock pot of homemade chicken noodle soup when i got up this morning. It is begining to smell really good! Wi**** would be ready to take for lunch today....oh well, there is tomorrows lunch!!! Hope all have a good day!!
