Day After Thanksgiving

Did you all have a nice Thanksgiving holiday? We went with my mother-in-law Iva, my sister-in-law Sherry and nephew Stace to a cousin's house in Cache for a big family get-together. Everyone brought something: besides the usual turkey, dressing, potatoes and pumpkin pie, we had, among other dishes, cranberry jello salad made by Iva, Israeli Salad made by Rach, and non-spinach dip made by Sherry (it was good, too!). Of course we all ate too much; so much food, so little stomach! Then, while most of the guys sat down to watch football, six of us sat down and played Phase 10. It was the longest and most grueling game of Phase 10 I've ever played, and it was fun! Four of Rachel's cousins played, and Iva and me. Rachel shuffled cards and kept score, until one cousin dropped out, then Rach sat in and ended up winning the game.

Another Update

Went in for my 4th monthly Zometa treatment. I found out Zometa is used to treat osteoporosis, and bones which have been affected by cancer and other diseases. Fortunately, it is a quick treatment, about 30  minutes. On the way home from Duncan, we tried to take pictures (through the windshield) of some of the trees lining the road. Now I either have to find the cord that connects my camera to my computer, or see if the jump drive will accommodate my memory card, so I can download pictures.
