“Checking the Turkey”

My parents loved Thanksgiving with all the trappings. Cooking, lots of people and lots of chaos! If they didn’t eat at home and they would cook a complete turkey dinner the next day in order to have leftovers.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday—good food with people I care about. Light on the decorations and no worry about gifts etc. (I do not and never have shopped on Thanksgiving weekend.) Cooking, eating, chatting and relaxing!

My son and his family went to a French restaurant for lunch and stopped by friends later.

Different folks / different strokes. Friends/family were important for all. And I’m pretty sure all were thankful!
