My #1 daughter called the other day and invited us down for Thanksgiving dinner.
I haven't watched the parade in over 20 years...so that didn't slow me up yesterday. We were going to go a little early cause she wanted her dad to put in a plug in for her. Which he did...
When we got there she had the turkey done. 2 pies, done. And that was about it. With her not being able to use her left side I understand it takes awhile. But it took a lot of effort for her to get that much stuff done. So I ended up doing the potatoes, gravy and the dressing. And they had to have everything just so.....
When our family got to be more than 15 people in the house and they couldn't all sit at one time we started doing buffet style......and since no one ate some things that you see at Thanksgiving why put them out? Well yesterday there were 4 of us and enough food for about 10....... She said she tried to find about an 8# turkey but the smallest they had was 17#. I brought turkey home but I bet she tosses a bunch....lol....
They got a little mad at me cause I told them none of us eat like we did 25 years ago so I had a bite of white and a bite of dark turkey. ¼ of a boiled tater with a little gravy and a tad of dressing. That filled me up. And I heard about it all day long. Then I didn't eat supper....you would thought that I was anorexic(sp) they way they talked.....but I had plenty.....
But it was a nice day anyway....
Talk about nice. It is 63º outside now. Going to be about 55º tomorrow and go downhill from there.

Retired and lovin'it.

Well, Ms. Janet, I wish I could say that I ate like you did on Thanksgiving.
