Decorations

26th of November, Wednesday

The day before Thanksgiving, first day of Thanksgiving break. NO SCHOOL!
  I had a Rotary meeting, which was really interesting. I invited Alma, so she got to meet the club, and could see a little bit about my weekly routine. She liked it a lot. There weren't many people, because of the holidays. For weeks, I prepared to sing Hungarian folk-songs, and today I did. Because there was no speaker at the meeting today, I took my time, and sung 11 songs I collected. They represented the major themes in Hungarian songs, like love songs, soldier songs or children songs. The Rotarians seemed to like it. Or even if they didn't they acted really grateful and congratulated me. It felt good, I was surrounded by friends, who care about one another.
  On the way home, Kim took me and Alma to AC Moore, then back home. We organized the basement for Thanksgiving. We are expecting 20 something people. Herb and Sun took tables from the church, and we set up the 4 giant tables downstairs, filling the entire room. We hid the storage parts of the basement, and organized everything. Me and Alma, we grabbed some pieces of paper, and markers, and made a bunch of decorations for the empty walls. We drew leaves and eventually, we made turkey themed drawings, cut the birds and plants out, and taped them on the wall. It took us several hours, but we had fun just being artsy. Now the basement has a happy Thanksgiving theme.
  In the evening, Herb took me and Alma for a last minute pre-Thanksgiving shopping to Sam's club, where Alma got crazy. She kept jumping on the shopping kart, she was hilarious, because she looked like a five year old trapped in a grown up body. When we found some awesome giant Grumpy Cat plushes, she calmed down a little bit.
  When we got back, we continued our artwork until midnight. We planned on watching a movie, but we just ended up talking until 1:30.
