A THANKSGIVING TO LOOK FORWARD TO
BESIDES STILL BEING AROUND THE UNIVERSE, I CAN LOOK FORWARD TO ANOTHER HOLIDAY. THIS YEAR OUR DAUGHTER AND FAMILY ARE HOSTING THE FESTIVITIES THURSDAY. MY SON-IN-LAW'S PARENTS WILL BE THERE AND HIS SISTER AND FAMILY ARE COMING FOR DESSERT ONLY. THIS IS GOOD NEWS BECAUSE TIME WITH HER UNRULY KIDS WILL BE LIMITED. LAST TIME WE HAD DINNER IN THEIR PRESENCE, THE EIGHT YEAR OLD DRANK ENOUGH WINE TO NEED A DESIGNATED DRIVER. BUT THAT'S NOT MY PROBLEM.
I'M THE DESIGNATED TURKEY CARVER WHEREVER I GO FOR THE HOLIDAY. THIS IS FINE BUT I'M SO FULL FROM NIBBLING WHILE CARVING, I SKIP MOST OF THE TURKEY DURING DINNER. AFTER ALL, I MUST MAKE SURE THE BIRD IS WELL COOKED, MOIST AND TENDER. BESIDES, I LIKE THE SIDE DISHES AND DESSERT MORE.
MT WIFE, AT THE REQUEST OF THE GRANDKIDS, PROMISED WE WOULD STAY OVER THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS MEANS SLEEPING ON THE SOFA BED IN THE LOWER LEVEL FAMILY ROOM WITH THE KIDS AND A COCKER SPANIEL SNUGGLED UP WITH ME. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE DOG REALLY LIKES ME. THE HOUSE IS EIGHTY YEARS OLD AND NICE, EXCEPT FOR THE D ADDED-ON LOWER LEVEL BASEMENT. YOU HAVE TO DECIDE WHICH WAY YOU ARE ENTERING THE ROOM BECAUSE TURNING SPACE IS LIMITED.
I HAVE BEEN TOLD WE WILL NOT GO SHOPPING FRIDAY, BUT I KNOW THIS PROMISE WILL GO BYE=BYE. OH WELL, I'M JUST HAPPY TO BE ANYWHERE.
BEST WISHES TO ALL FOR A HAPPY AND SAFE HOLIDAY
MARTY :big_grin:
