Chase was excited to go to school -- he won't be so happy when he finds out that Monday is the only day this week that he's going to school -- he's off on Wednesday and Friday for the Thanksgiving holiday. When he came out of school, he had a rock in his hand, and he told Nanaw that it was his stone. Nanaw didn't understand what that was all about until she read his newsletter (his "portant paper" that was in his folder.) In school, the children did a gratitude session and used the stone as their gratitude stone and talked about what they're thankful for. Nanaw asked Chase what he was thankful for, and Chase said, "My Tee Tee." Chase and Nanaw went to the Dollar Tree because today was a toy day. Chase got a mini skateboard, a new Army guy and three little cars. Then Chase and Nanaw went to Walmart to get supplies for Thanksgiving dinner. Chase wanted to see the mechanical Santa and the Christmas trees so that's where they went first. Tragically, mechanical Santa is broken and no longer sings -- Chase was very sad. In the evening, Mama and Daddy came to pick up Chase rather than Nanaw taking him home -- they were going to dinner with Aunt Betty in O'Fallon, Illinois.
