A good day

I am deeply grateful that hubby was able to sit at our little table today. A year ago he mostly slept through Thanksgiving, coming down to sit under a blanket in the living room for an hour or so. Today I am grateful his health is better.
Years ago we bought a little train set from Burger King! We lost pieces of the set through the years. I found another set on e-bay and bought it, giving it to hubby today. He had a grand time putting it together. One little battery and the engine zips around the track, pulling the cars.
Today's meal was simple but very tasty and above all, friendly. We were supposed to have home grown butternut squash with our rice and dried cranberries but I didn't put the squash in soon enough to bake so we just had some as a leftover.
I hope everyone has had a good day, whatever you did or didn't eat.

I'm glad your hubby is regaining some of his strength, too! And glad you had plenty to eat, no matter what it was.

@DaddyEvil I wish my sister who has been having issues had her daughter closer to her, though they might kill each other faster if that was the case.

@rebelann Thank you for asking. I try to keep going to the pool cause it gives me a sense of stability. I am deeply grateful that I have that pool to go to. I am okay though I wish I could walk further without issue. Its shocking, how fast time flies.

What a fun memory of the train and then to find one to replace it. I am glad hubby could come sit at the table and eat today.

I'm so glad to hear he was able to join you this year. How nice. It's great that you were able to find the duplicate train set.
We had a nice day.

I am sure that seeing him at the table and enjoying his train and food was very special after last Thanksgiving. I'm glad it was a good day for you both.

Thanks @MarieCoyle. You're right: I don't miss seeing my hubby huddled under a blanket.
