I had a nice Thanksgiving, Kevin picked me up, and another friend of his from Emmanuel who lives on the way to his brother's - about half an hour out of Shawnee - and is in the same age group as he is, about the same age as my sons. He is a single father with a teenage son, soon to go to college, so we were a little party of four, and I think I counted 16 round the table altogether.
I thought Kevin's house was big but his brother's is even more huge, also with a lot of land around it. After lunch the guys all went out on motor bikes on the trails surrounding the house. They obviously all have several bikes each, which are their toys. Kevin said he gets the daily 'Oklahoman' and if he sees a good bargain he can't resist, he gets it. I found fascinating this insight into how the other half live, and what they spend their money on.
Kevin has a very kind heart - as well as cutting the grass for little old ladies he reaches out to anyone who needs help. On the way to his brother's he did a U turn in the road because he saw a pick-up parked at the side, and thought the owner might need help. However, he had run out of gas and had just picked some up.
While the guys were out on the motor bikes, and a crew I guess were busy in the kitchen, Kevin's other Emmanuel friend and I were sitting in a little group at the table, chatting, and it was all very pleasant.
When getting dressed yesterday I put on a skirt which practically fell off me. I haven't been dieting or trying to lose weight, but it seems I must have done. So maybe I will venture into the Black Friday mayhem and see if there are any bargains in skirts.
On a tv programme this morning there was an item about the things most people are looking for in the sales, things you would expect, like i-Pads and televisions, but third on the list was sheets!!! The tv anchor man was very bemused, so was I.
