Thanksgiving was much better this year than last LOL. S20, S16 and I went to our neighbors house for dinner.
S20 ate and left to go back to H & OW's to see H's relatives. H's mother, sister, bil & niece where there. The rest of H's family refused to go. H's brother even asked if I'd like to go with them to his MIL's for Thanksgiving. So sweet of him.
S16 ate and left with my friends son to make the evening duck hunt. We cleaned up, packed and headed to the camp ourselves. I hunted the next day with S16 and his girlfriend and had a wonderful day.
H and OW showed up that evening (after I'd left) and they drank all night, hunted Saturday, drank all Saturday night and left on Sunday. H isn't setting much of an example for S16.
Last weekend I went with a friend to her sisters home in New Orleans to do an open house. I sell Silpada Designs jewelry, my friend does cute cards, note pads, etc. and her sister sells Arebonne. Had a nice time.
S20 came home on Saturday. S16 had stayed Friday night at a friends house. On Saturday, S16 went with a friend to another friends house for a bond fire. The police came and told them all to leave with an adult. S16 said that there were kids there drinking. S16 called a friend of ours that is a police officer and he came and picked him up and brought him home.
When I arrived home Sunday late morning S20 told me of S16's evening so I asked S16 about his night. He told me everything. S16 did say he'd told his dad and his dad had asked where I was. S16 said I was in New Orleans and H said 'Oh, I didn't know she was out of town.'
Later that day H called me to see if S16 had told me of his night and to make sure I left the door unlocked for him to check on his deceased brothers car I'm storing in the garage. He could have asked S16 to do that for him. I think he was just check to see if I'd made it home. But, I could just be wishing that H still cares about me and wonders what I'm up to.
I have had to speak with H every day this week. Some times more than once with issues with S16 and on the house. All talks are pleasant and I've been very happy sounding and I tell him how much I appreciate his help on things when we talk.
Again, maybe I'm just wishing here.
Unusual note: A friends girlfriend gave my number to an attorney friend of hers from New Orleans. We weren't able to meet this past weekend but we did talk for 2 1/2 hrs on the phone when he called the 2nd time. He did say that he wanted to meet me. This is very flattering.
