We made it over the Oregon Trail segway up to Silverton for Turkey Day. We had a snowy experience over the Blue Mountains, but Pa was at the helm and we slid on into Pendleton to camp over for the night. It was wonderful to see the grandchildren and spend some time with their parents too. Matt as usal put on the feast with me being the assistant, that is cleaning up as fast as I could to leave some counter space, he is a great cook. He gets pretty hyper as he gets going, but is not intimidated by anything. First time I have watched someone make the green bean casserole with onions rings on top!
He was also the one out shopping on Black Friday early enough to get a new TV, blue ray, and movie. He even got back home and had it all installed and working before the rest of us even got out of bed. As grandpa went downstairs and Eli says how do you like the new TV, poor grandpa didnt even notice it was new! We did enjoy Friday movie night and watching UP with camel popcorn freshly made.
Matt also worked grandpa into the clinic and gave his back a work over, he is almost back to normal. Normal being he doesnt like Christmas and all the commercialism, after 38 years of marriage he is still trying to tolerate the rest of us. Well bah humbug, we love it and will carry on anyway. (he does say to me on Christmas Eve about 3:00 pm well I guess we better go to the mall and get you something) It will be a different Christmas this year without Grandma Dorothy, she did love Christmas and has passed that onto her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Thanks for all the great memories Mom, I hope to journal a bit more and record some of them. In the mean time I will enjoy the earring Christmas tree and Blinky the snowman each day!
