need time wasters... now Thanksgiving meal
We have a fun time on Thanksgiving----we go to MI to DIL's sister Beth's
house. There's her immediate family, all her in-laws, us and son's family, his in-laws (also Beth's parents)Usually 19, or 20 people, including our DGS's and Beth's twin girls and DS. We really enjoy time with her kids, especially since they're the only girls in our family---really no relation, but Beth considers us her aunt and uncle. We bring the ham, wine, and some salads. She does the turkey, and everyone else brings whatever they wish. We never go hungry! Gen "MB" wrote in message naccess... I agree ! We did that a couple of years when my oven conked out ... When I said something about ..All that cooking.....dh mentioned going out again... Dear heart!...But it is so much more fun at home ..unless there are circumstances beyond your control !...You can always have dessert and coffee/tea/sherry at home !!!... I remember one family that we met while we were out for our Thanksgiving meal were going to choose their Christmas tree as soon as they had finished their dinner. I thought that that was a nice tradition Mary "Pati C." wrote in message ... As for the big dinner..... might be time to start a new tradition... go out for dinner. We started doing that when I was working retail, and had to open the store on "Black Friday". Which meant that I had to be up and moving by about 4:30 that morning. sigh. We started going to Old Country Buffet and had a wonderful, all you can eat, meal. No prep, no clean up. Later on I would cook a turkey, or turkey breast, and stuffing so we could have leftovers.

I'm not sure if you have to reserve in advance. We usually just hang out at home and I cook. It doesn't sit well with us to plan to go out, because my DH is usually sick off and on a great deal this time of year and invariably he's sick on that day. It makes for a very quiet day. I will watch a movie or two, hang out on the computer, etc and of course nibble to my hearts content. This year my DD invited us out (his treat) but I told him we'd take a raincheck and invited him instead. He's bringing the pie and the rolls. He would come every year, but he usually works on that day. This year we have a wii and maybe I can suggest a game or two of whatever he so chooses! VBG Work off some of the dinner.

Here's a pretty good game site:
http://games.myway.com/index.html Games in the "puzzle & strategy" part are often quite addictive! They have (scroll down) daily jigsaw & Jumble & other games plus soddoku. The great thing about this site is that you DON'T get "ads" popping up and loooong loading times -- just click and it opens! ME-Judy "Kate G." wrote in message ...

check out this one. tells you when game over what your brain size is compared to various animals etc. that gave me a chuckle. i'm not tell'n what size my brain is tho. it was the first time i played and that without any instructions so didnt know what i was doing really. maybe i'll be better, i hope so anyhow, lol. fingers cross you get a dr appt quickly and they diagnos and make plans quickly too. your holiday season this year will no doubt be your worst ever. sit back and let the others take over or they can sing carols which takes no effort for them at all. then order a meal to be delivered fully made or at least all packed and ready to be oven'd and refrigerated. gentle healing hugz, j. |
