I have now started out the Holiday with the traditional bowl of New England Clam Chowder.  Actually, there is nothing traditional about it, but I was hungry and I had it on the shelf.

[TCB]

Today I am thankful for the fact that BK will not yell at us, even though we are barely on Page 3 by noon on the West Coast.   

[Laura]

A few years ago I went out to be with my sister as she recovered from cancer surgery. We didn't bother with "Thanksgiving." We didn't know what the future was going to bring. I think her tenant cooked chicken drumsticks in the Ronco Showtime Rotisserie Oven ™. We watched the Black Friday festivities on television the following day.

All of her tests since have come back cancer-free, for which I am very thankful.

[TCB]

Wow!  Forty-nine years ago this day, do you remember where you were?

[TCB]

God Bless your sister, Laura, and you as well.

[bk]

I gotta tell you.

[Jeanne]

Hello, everyone, and

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all of you!

[Jeanne]

Vibes to DR Laura's friend Ruby and Laura's sister, too.

[Jane]

From DR John G:

Went to dinner with a dozen friends. Most of us have been going out on Thanksgiving Eve for a dozen years or so, and it was just a beautiful evening of fine talk, fine food and fine wines.

It was a yet another reminder of how much I have to be thankful for.

What a nice tradition.

[Jeanne]

I opted to stay home today. I was thinking about some Indian food for dinner, but that could change to pasta. As you can see, I don't feel tied to traditional fare. I was never a fan of turkey or gravy or pumpkin pie--and I never ever liked stuffing--so I really would prefer some veggies and a light meal.

[Jeanne]

I used some of my Amazon points (from their credit card) to buy season 2 of the new UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS and I shall watch that tonight.

[Jane]

From  DR Vixmom:

That's exactly what I thought when I read that!!

 

VIBES YOU FIND A BOSS LIKE DR CILLA!!!

[Jeanne]

Thanksgiving during my childhood was spent at my Aunt Gladys and Uncle Eddie's house. Gladys was a good cook--my mother was not--and I enjoyed a nice meal. I have two cousins my age, but we never had much in common. I would sit in the den and read, while my dad and my uncle talked shop, and my mother and my aunt and cousins (the parents of the cousins my age) would chat. I miss many of them.

[Jane]

Wow, in and how of Costco in half an hour, DR Vixmom you are amazing!!!!

[Laura]

I was home, waiting for mom's turkey dinner to be done, TCB.

[Jane]

From DR TCB:

You don't?  Why not?  I would think he would love it.

I think DR MBarnum needs to watch an episode and let us know his opinion

[Jeanne]

DR Vixmom is a real survivor!

[Jeanne]

TTFN.

[Jane]

I have known 90 year old's who have done well after surgery.  VIBES SHE IS ONE OF THEM!!!!

[Jane]

Thank you for the prayers and thoughts for Ruby. I typed out a long thing about her and deleted it. It was too long.

Ruby is from my church. I haven't heard anything more about the neighbor.

DR Laura, I lost Ruby in my ramblings. I wish her well.

DR elmore I very much enjoyed your ramblings.

[Jane]

I have no special Thanksgiving memories.  All Thanksgivings during my childhood were fraught with stress (much like Christmas meals).  As a result, I've made every effort to excise stress from my holidays.

Thanksgiving is one holiday I don't have extreme memories either way.  I think this is a good thing and that most of them were rather nice.

[Jane]

I was the youngest of all the relatives so when I was growing up, there really wasn't anyone to play with at family gatherings, so i went to the kitchen and offered to help.  As a result I learned how to cook all the family dishes and when I think of holidays I think of cooking and really do enjoy doing it.  Except when the family gets together and I'm the only one cooking.

That explains why you enjoy cooking on the holidays even just for yourself.  I'm sure I watched when my mother cooked but she preferred to do it herself than take the time to watch me learn.  My parents traveled a lot and as I got older I would cook when they were away.

[Jane]

I'm up, I'm up.  I slept till ten-thirty, but it took a really long time to fall asleep and then I was up two or three times during the night.  But I'm being lazy and it looks like a nice day outside.

How nice.  I woke up a little after six.  I didn't begin reading until it was light out and then got up at 8:00 so we could call Craig before he went to his friend's for the day.

[Jane]

It is comforting to know Craig has very good friends close by to spend the holidays with.

Bryan is working today.  We will talk to him tomorrow on his one day off.  Since he is working all but tomorrow his wife stayed in Chicago. 

[Jane]

Today I am thankful for the fact that BK will not yell at us, even though we are barely on Page 3 by noon on the West Coast.

This is a very good reason to be thankful!!! 

VIBES SHE STAYS CANCER-FREE!!!!

Has it been that long?

Working in the gym office at Palms Jr. High.

It sounds good and you will feel better after your dinner than after a big traditional meal.

I guess I'm warming up for the memoirs!
