On Sunday, Chase had hockey and Mama had a dryer breakdown. Her dryer stopped working again. Over the past few years, she's had dryer trouble several times. Sometimes Daddy can order a part and fix it, and sometimes he can't and they have to buy a new dryer. Nanaw thinks that has happened twice in the past few years. So Mama brought her clothes over to Nanaw's to dry them. She's not going to pick them up till Monday morning when she drops Chase off at Nanaw's house. On Monday, Chase didn't have much homework except to study for the vocab test on Tuesday. One of his classmates Emma wasn't at school on Monday so she wasn't able to make a Blookit for the vocab test for everyone to study from. Blookit is a cool program that has games and images mixed in with the vocab words you're supposed to be studying. So Chase and Nanaw spent a lot of time going over the words. On Tuesday, Chase and Nanaw went over the vocab words again in the morning before school, and he seemed to know them well. When Nanaw picked Chase up from school at noon, he said he thought he did well on the vocab test. Nanaw was excited that Chase only had half a day at school. His Thanksgiving break was from Tuesday afternoon through Sunday. In the afternoon, Chase played with the Nova hockey guys and on the computer. On Wednesday, Chase and Nanaw made plans to go on an adventure to Handyman Hardware to look at the Christmas decorations like they do every year. Usually Mama goes with them but Mama didn't go this year, just Chase and Nanaw. The Handyman decorations were even more wonderful this year, and dear, sweet Chase let Nanaw take a lots of pictures of him with the decorations. After Handyman, they went to the library to pick up books that Mama and Nanaw had on request. They also stopped at the library vending machine to buy the fruit candy that Chase likes so much. The reason Mama didn’t go on the Handyman adventure is that she's working very hard and worrying a lot about hosting Thanksgiving this year. She's never roasted a turkey before. Uncle Chris and Auntie LaLa came over to Chase's house on Thanksgiving Eve so Uncle Chris could teach Mama how to roast a turkey in a bag in the oven. Nanaw came over after her Thanksgiving Eve church service. She wasn't sure about this bag thing.
