Sunday before dinner

Head colds passed around. Coughing, and sniffly noses.  Immune systems gone to pot with all the worrying lately.  Thinking ahead to Thanksgiving and hoping we're all feeling perky by then.  Have asked a neighbor over, but not sure if she'll be able to come.  We might still be recovering.  Will shop tomorrow. Chickens feeling the chill outside.  Keep warming up their water during the day.  They don't seem to mind, though. Oldest brother invited to my aunt's for Thanksgiving.  One down.  Other brother out of town hasn't committed to being here with our mom.  No comment.  Trying to avoid fretting in regards to future plans about Mom's living arrangements.  As I tell the kids---maybe the Lord will come during the night and we'll not have to make these decisions.  Usually gets a laugh.
