Sometimes plans change for a reason!

My nephew is such a joy in my life. Since my husband passed away, my nephew has been trying his best to do things for me, to keep me laughing and to know I'm not alone. And it's really been working. When he had asked if he could come here for Thanksgiving and spend the day with me, I was so happy. In trying to keep a lot of our old traditions alive, I went a little overboard with groceries, and now, unfortunately, I'm very low on money until my next check comes in. So, that wouldn't even be much of a problem (I'm good at living on small bits of money) except that my nephew invited me on a trip on Sunday. You see, he graduated from Perkins School for the Blind (Helen Keller's school), and he goes up there every year at this time for their annual Christmas Concert. I was really excited about going. However, I knew I was going to need money to stop for food along the way, and that had me a little worried. Tonight he called me to say that the driver's husband is now coming on the trip, so there's no room for me in the van. I silently breathed a sigh of relief for the money, but am disappointed that I will miss the concert. Maybe I can go next year. Thankfully, the library is delivering new books to me on Friday, so I will have lots of books to keep me company during the weekend. I really won't mind missing the trip. I know my nephew's heart is in the right place and he was broken hearted about having to give me the news. But I told him it's all good and I'll be fine. That makes life so much easier for him, so he's not caught in the middle of anything. Hope you all have things to do this weekend so I'll have a lot to read about! lol -Claudia-
