AS LIFE GOES BY

Thanksgiving was filled with food and fellowship. My family met at Amanda’s house in Fayetteville. Her two kids go to their dad’s family get-together at one and then return to their mom’s house. Elisa, Kara, and Samantha carried chairs, tables and food from Garfield to Amanda’s. There were twelve-fourteen for dinner at five. I didn’t make it. On Tuesday, I started feeling bad and finally on Friday I went to the doctor. It turns out I had pneumonia. I haven’t ever had pneumonia so I thought I might have had the flu, etc. I had been invited to eat out on Friday at noon but of course I didn’t go. Then some friends asked me to join them on Saturday for Thanksgiving dinner. Missed that too! Sunday, I missed church. I had to call the hostess for bridge on Monday so she could call someone to substitute for me. No wonder I try to never be sick. Lots of trouble and I missed some good meals!
