Sounds like all of you had a good one. <BR/><BR/>I hope Sophie reads these comments for a quick look at our American Thanksgiving.Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-15523617187925843722008-11-28T12:39:00.000-05:002008-11-28T12:39:00.000-05:00Lovely table settings!

Food and Family. ;-) It just seems like everyone is so much more relaxed on this day and lots of catching up and enjoying each other. It was especially nice this year, as we were all thankful that my Mom was still with us. I too enjoy the days of leftovers and putting together odd little meals for several days. <BR/>TammyTammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131066591477169851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-32972792740021970312008-11-28T12:07:00.000-05:002008-11-28T12:07:00.000-05:00Neither one of us are very close to most of our fa...Neither one of us are very close to most of our family, so it's just the hubby and me at Thanksgiving. That's not a bad thing, though. He works for the local community college so always has the day off, and I'm working on starting my own business so currently have every day off. I cook the usual meal of turkey breast, stuffing, mac n cheese and baby lima beans and we watch movies or cartoons...and overeat of course. <BR/><BR/>I look at your photos and do sometimes get a bit envious of the large gathering of friends and family you have. But then, I look at the hubby and the cats, all lazing around after filling up on turkey, and I'm pretty thankful for what I have here. So many out there have so much less.Susan M.

I will never cook a Turkey without the brine again. However the hit of the day was my new Private Massage chair that came Monday.It is my early Anniversary present. <BR/>Everyone had to take a turn in it and some made"pigs" of themselves!<BR/>Pat we have a every other year situation too with grands and this was our year.Carol Murdockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749285023748227382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-80227406520442544582008-11-28T08:59:00.000-05:002008-11-28T08:59:00.000-05:00You're absolutely right Vicki ... a thankful day e...You're absolutely right Vicki ... a thankful day enjoyed with family and friends, all very low key. It's kind of like taking a big deep breath before all the 'craziness' starts. Whew!! <BR/><BR/>My Thanksgiving was spread over 2 days due to a 'shared' grandchild (it's not his year to have her on the acutal day) coming quite a distance, and another son who works ever changing shifts with possible call outs. It couldn't be worked out for all of us to be together at one time, but we made the most of it.Pat in east TNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11654095647835294718noreply@blogger.com
