Fog, Fog, and more Fog

I cannot believe how foggy it has been this last week.  It has started to set in at about 6:00 every evening and hangs around until at least 9 or 10 the following morning.  Some days it just stays foggy all day long.   Maybe they should have named this area sleepy hollow :).   It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is tomorrow.  To me it seems like it should be about June or July.  Everything has just sort of snuck up on me this year.  I have only managed to get a couple of things done this year that I wanted to.  And here we are staring at the end of the year. Don't get me wrong I am very thankful for so many things.  Especially for my family.  They have brought a whole new meaning to my life.  I am glad that we were able to fly back and see them this year.   And I am looking forward to when we will be able to do it again. I am also thankful that I am able to be here for my Mom.  She turns 75 in just a few days and has started to enter that difficult stage of her life.   She tends to get frustrated more easily these days and although she is not having quite as many issues with her memory since the surgery.  It is still noticable. Thank god the tenants are understanding and help her to work through it.  Of course it could be that they are just as forgetful and do not realize that she told them the same thing just 10 minutes prior.  Either way it is good to be able to have her living so close that I can keep on eye on her and try to make sure she has what she needs.
