Since sis#4, bro-in-law#3, and Little Joe moved up North I've not seen them much. I'm really missing them all, but mostly, I'm missing Little Joe! He started school and I wasn't there to see any of it. He rode Doodle Bug, the horse Papa gave him, for the first time and I didn't get to see it. He was in the hospital for a couple days and I didn't get to go. I'm feeling a little sorry for myself over all this!
I realize that aunt's aren't really typically so involved in their nephew's/niece's lives, but I'm not a typical aunt! They were all suppose to come down a couple weekend's ago for Woody and sis#2's birthdays, but Little Joe was sickly again so they had to cancel. I was so disappointed!!
So, looks like it'll be Thanksgiving before we see them. That will be the longest run in his short life that I've not seen him. I'm gonna try to get over it and not dwell, but I'm not making any promises!!!
Speaking of Thanksgiving, it is my favorite holiday of all time! I love to smell everything cooking on that great Thursday morning. I always get up really, really early and start the bird smoking. A couple years ago it didn't get quite done and we had the smoked bird for supper, but sis#2 saved the day by cooking one in her roaster/smoker thing. It was good, but the one on the grill with mesquite wood can't be beat!
Funny how the thought of food can make all better in the world!
