I have more doctor appointments this week. I found out I need surgery on my knee for a torn meniscus but the doctor really didn’t push it because the pain may be mostly caused by arthritis. Yay! I am still considering stem cell shots.
Michelle Nowak and I had our “Birthmas” luncheon at Court Square on Tuesday. Her birthday is mid-November so we usually just celebrate both of ours around now and that’s what we named it. It was a great time, with great food and conversation!
Clint, Courtney, Caroline, Elizabeth, Justin and Lyla were all here for Thanksgiving. Justin fries our turkey so I fix the dressing and sweet potatoes. Courtney and Liz brought the sides and I made desserts. It was a wonderful day!
I have all the decorating done inside the house. I can’t wait to put lights on the playhouse!

Sympathy is extended to Judy Randolph in the death of her aunt, Jean Russell, and to the Melton family in the sudden death of Sandra Melton. Covington lost a great man last night, Wayne Culver. All of these families are in our prayers.
