Chase still has his cold, with a cough and runny nose, so there were no adventures – although on their way home to Nanaw’s house first thing in the morning, they went to the drive-up functions of the post office and library, and to the cemetery and the gas station where Chase could stay in the car. Chase and Nanaw had a craft project today, making place cards for Thanksgiving dinner. Chase drew circles on the cards and put stickers on them, while Nanaw wrote everyone’s names – 15 people are coming. Next, Chase and Nanaw went downstairs to play trains. Chase also watched Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood on the computer – he missed it on TV this morning because of running errands. Nanaw is going to look for a Daniel Tiger toy for Chase because he seems to like Daniel so much. While they were downstairs, it started to snow. When they went upstairs, Chase put on his Thomas hat and said he wanted to go outside and play in the snow. But Nanaw had to say no because of his cold and because there wasn’t any snow accumulation yet. When Nanaw took Chase home, Mama told him she had a surprise for him in his room – it was his very own Christmas tree with Chase’s ornaments and Chase seemed very excited about it, especially about the Thomas ornament and the Thomas train under the tree.
