Happy, happy birthday Ima and fairy74!

Ditto!

I have time off for it, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet.

Re: Are you looking forward to your Thanksgiving gathering?

moan, groan, and complain that i ate too much! then, go back and eat dessert after about an hour. moan and groan some more, then go back for seconds after about 3 hours... it's a tradition!

After we eat, usually we go for a little hokey scavenger hunt in the park, that way we don't feel like beached whales the next day, then dh and the boys (and girls who like it) watch football, soccer, etc...I usually play with all my presents! hee, hee

oh, no, not too much. juuuuuuuuuuust enough!

for the past several years DH and i have had to shuffle between 3 houses over the course of 8 hours on thanksgiving, so the only thing we really did was eat and drive all day long. this year there's only 1 gathering, so i have no idea what's gonna happen.

On the day itself, yes. DS and DIL won't arrive until afternoon, so we eat a turkey supper. We watch football and sometimes play a game together. But after two turkey dinners, DS and DIL are in a coma.

i can't sit still that long. That is why we always have our dinner in the evening around 8-9 pm.

I love Tgiving, but feeling a little sad since it's hard not to remember how last year was with an SO & his big family. With just the 3 of us, we can't fill a day 'talking' and my sis usually doesn't like to stay long.

Need to focus on the future, not the past.

Such good responses! Very uplifting. We finished our cooking today so we can drive around a bit. The weather is going to be in the high 50's Thursday. Just hubby and me this year.

Happy Birthday Ima and Fairy74!

Fern; I wish you happiness, I wish you love. It will happen. His loss. There is a future if we can leave the past in the past. We're going into 2007 and 7 is a blessed number!!

Happy Thanksgiving all!
