Thankful
Yes, many things to be thankful for, but really, I won’t bore you all with the details (grin). We had a lovely day. The food was delicious, if I do say so myself. Mom’s stomach wasn’t feeling its best and so I pretty much did the cooking (though my sister helped). My brother-in-law carved the turkey, which is a rare, rare thing in our house. We’ve never done the “carry the turkey to the table for the man of the house to carve,” thing. We’ve always just carved in the kitchen and carried the platter into the dining room. And none of the men in our family cook, so it was quite a shock, really, having one in the kitchen doing work. My goodness!
Anyway, everything was good. Everyone was in a good mood. My nephew got a little snow. Chappy got turkey dinner and is exhausted from all the entertaining. Mom’s feeling better.
Many things to be thankful for. Hope all of you can say the same.

We had a nice relaxing Thanksgiving, too. I’ve never believe in carrying the whole turkey to the table and then carving it. First of all, it makes a mess! And second of all, the rest of the food is going to get cold while everyone waits for the turkey. I think it’s just a television prop!
Same here. Have a peaceful digesting-session of a weekend.
We don’t carve at the table, either. We carve in the kitchen – that way we can put some on a separate plate and tell my nephew who ‘hates turkey’ that it is chicken so he’ll eat it ;o)
Beanie gets turkey dinner too – and was completely exhausted from having and extra ten or so people running around. So exhausted in fact, that Roger had to carry her downstairs on Friday morning because she just couldn’t handle locomotion on her own ;o)
