Cowboy here. Next week is our American holiday, Thanksgiving. For some folks, that's the start of the holiday season. Not for my imp. Sar considers 4th of July the end of 1 year's holiday season, Labor Day the warm up for the next one. Halloween puts my wife into overdrive. She consumes enough chocolate, other sugars to take her through the Thanksgiving preparations. Christmas is a whole other event.
The imp is cooking. The imp is baking. The imp is not eating enough. The imp get little rest.
I've been kicked out of the kitchen, our extra large pups standing guard, growling as I try to get past them to grab my woman. I'm keeping score.
That broken wrist makes things a bit clumsy in the kitchen. Volunteered to help out, got rebuffed. Joan de Arc has to do it all herself. Threatened to burn that little backside if she didn't slow down. Finally got her away from the pups, in bed, didn't have a chance to do squat. Sar fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. I let her sleep. Thought about tying the birbantella to the bed – thought about a few other things I could do –- I let her sleep.
We're not going back to DC for Thanksgiving. Arranged to have a video conference in Bull's hospital room. His mother will have a holiday meal prepared for her boy; we'll speak to him via satellite, wish him well. He and Sar can rib each other about eating road kill, who will eat the most apple/pecan pie, other things they tease each other about. This will make both of them happy. Just seeing that young man sitting up, eating whole food, talking, smiling, that will do all of us a world of good. Have I mentioned he's out of intensive care, in a private room, facing a long bout of rehab, some surgery, on the mend. It will be a long haul, slow recovery but recovery just the same. Counting blessings, very thankful blessings.
Having a small crowd over, about 15, smallest crowd we've had in years. My wife is worn out, won't admit it, won't slow down, 15 is plenty. Rethinking tying her to the bed.

So glad Bull is doing well. I am sure the video chat on Thanksgiving will be really fun. I hope Sar is able to rest more. Though tying her to the bed sounds more like fun than rest to me.

Cowboy, thanks for the update, very good news about Bull.
Sar needs to slow down, or she will burn out and be forced to stop, she would hate that.
Have a great Thanksgiving.
Love and warm hugs,

Just as Sar helped pull Bull back from the edge I know you will find a way to keep Sar from over working. And I feel sure she will make you work for that goal. I know you will have a wonderful Thanksgiving because you two will be together.
Hugs,

Hi Cowboy,
So glad to hear Bull is on the mend no matter how long it takes.
I see sar is back to being sar. I trust you to always take care of her just as she takes care of the rest of us.
God bless you both and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
That's great news about Bull! The video conference will be fun and will do everyone good. I can see the kitchen now with Sar in there and the babies guarding,lol.
