Happy Thanksgiving! I was able to put in a full day at the Birch Street Nursing Home without fear of missing any of the Winsome holiday celebration, because Grandmother has decided to put off our big dinner until later this evening after she finishes up some special work in her laboratory. Following Grandmother's Thanksgiving tradition, I once again asked the patients what they are thankful for. Here is what some of them said:
Mr. Oliveras is thankful that he hasn't tripped since the fire extinguisher went missing last month.
Mrs. Henley is thankful that this month's fire didn't damage the medicine supply.
Mrs. Kunkle is thankful that she is back on her feet and able to touch all the windows and light switches herself.
Mrs. Lowe is thankful that her son will be arriving at any moment to take her back home.
Mr. Pearlman is thankful that his current guide dog has not bitten him or run away.
Mrs. Patterson is thankful that she has been able to thwart Mrs. Shimshack's recent attempts to get back into the Birch Street Nursing Home.
Mrs. Macmillan wrote that she is thankful she can't hear Mrs. Patterson.
Mr. Matthews is thankful for the brilliant idea he just got for a sequel to his story about Mr. Matthers and Candy.
Hazel, as usual, was not responsive, but I am certain she is thankful for the ray of sunlight through her window.
