Thanksgiving Recap.

Thanksgiving was good, minus the fact that Lisa had to work.  She had to be in at 6:00 a.m. and worked until 6:30 p.m.  The hospital provided her with a free Thanksgiving meal.  She had to convince the cafeteria staff to give her potatoes AND stuffing, because they were told to only allow one or the other.  She ate it by herself.  :(

Collin and I went over to my mother's new place in Shawnee.  It was fun.  Nothing but Wii games and football, even though the football games were boring, its still football.  Mom had only been in this house less than a year, so it was her first holiday gathering.  It was good, but would have been better with Lisa there.

The evening was topped off with a musical performance by Collin of the song "Sing" by Travis.



But because the after-meal walk took longer than expected, the performance was rushed.  Collin was able to perform, but he was didn't not have time to assemble his Lego microphone that he brought from home.  Still, the performance was a hit.

Collin and I left to go pick up mommy and head home.  After Collin went to bed, Lisa and I stayed up and watched Braveheart on the Ion channel.  A perfect ending to a non-traditional Thanksgiving evening.

"And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell surly cafeteria workers that they may take our lives, our at least give us occasional indegestian, but they will never take away our freedom to have potatoes AND stuffing!"

ALBA GU BRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
