I did not get a nap today. But I did enjoy the meal with friends.

Found a couple of fun DVDs yesterday at Half Price Books. One is a collection of clips from the Tonys. The other is a Best of Hullabaloo with a few Sherman Brothers music on it, including Sammy Davis Jr. doing Chim-Chim-Cheree. The Supremes, Dusty Springfield, Lola Falana, Jack Jones and Woody Allen are also featured. Don't know if Donna McKechnie or Michael Bennett are anywhere to be seen.

Today was a perfectly lovely Thanksgiving (of the two Thanksgivings I've had, this one was actually on Thanksgiving and just as good in its own different way as the pre Thanksgiving Thanksgiving). It was perfectly delightful, perfect weather, b\great company, and a lovely day. I hope you all had the same!

We just had a delightful afternoon/evening with our neighbors and their family, plus a couple of friends. We arrived at 1:00 and were the first to leave.

The things you can earn from actually reading the AOL news: I never knew before that "Jingle Bells" was originally written to celebrate Thanksgiving rather than Christmas.

Hmmm, makes sense but I never knew this.

Thank you for the lovely email card, Elmore. I always save them for the actual holiday. It makes everything more festive!

I also save them for the actual day.

I am a traditionalist and believe thanksgiving is not complete without pumpkin pie

No pumpkin pie tonight, just my pumpkin rolls. We would have been fine with just one and even brought some home.

I started season 3 of A PLACE TO CALL HOME. No end of surprises in this show. I'll watch more tonight.

Don't forget season 4 begins tonight.

I don't think that I have ever tried pumpkin pie. However, how can someone not believe in pumpkin pie?? Or do they just not like it?

I am guessing they don't like it.

Ella lives in LA. She's the owner's care dog and flies right under her seat on the plane. Except for really wanting some turkey scraps, she was calm and patient and wonderful.

Finished with my viewing.

I think we'll have our very own Black Friday sale right here at haineshisway.com - more CDs, some Blu-rays.

Ella's is THE best breed, of course she is good.

Page five? Really? You'd think this was Thanksgiving or something - we need some more reports.

John G. · « **Reply #138 on:** November 24, 2016, 07:57:14 PM »

Black Friday sale? Ears have perked up.

John G. · « **Reply #139 on:** November 24, 2016, 07:57:34 PM »

But they will have to wait until the morning.

The HHW Black Friday sale is the only Black Friday sale I am considering this year

We arrived at my brothers to find my SIL coughing up a lung while cooking the dinner

vixmom · « **Reply #143 on:** November 24, 2016, 08:34:38 PM »

Her father, after hugging and kissing us all announced that he is suffering from shingles

vixmom · « **Reply #144 on:** November 24, 2016, 08:37:51 PM »

And my SILs mother , who was helping with the cooking mentioned over dinner that she had been "sick as a dog" all week followed by the fun fact that she had been busy preparing the side dishes all week

vixmom · « **Reply #145 on:** November 24, 2016, 08:43:53 PM »

Vixdad and I were exchanging looks silently asking each other how to get through dinner without eating.....or breathing

vixmom · « **Reply #146 on:** November 24, 2016, 08:48:15 PM »

We both limited ourselves to side dishes we had brought from home and the smallest amount of turkey ... And we sat at the foot of the table while my SIL and her folks were at the head.... (The foot of the table was a card table added to the end to extend the length and so we were able to graciously suggest that the better seats go to SIL and her folks)

vixmom · « **Reply #147 on:** November 24, 2016, 08:51:35 PM »

Then as soon as we got home (after eating only the pie my mom brought as dessert and refusing those desserts provided by SIL and mom because we were "too full") we washed , brushed our teeth , popped some vitamin c tablets and sambucol

Vibes are requested that we don't fall to the annual SIL plague

vixmom · « **Reply #149 on:** November 24, 2016, 08:55:10 PM »

We remembered once we got home that last year was the first year we did not fall ill right after Thanksgiving... Last year we held a small thanksgiving dinner at my parents house just Vixdad, the Vixter, my folks and dads aide, because dad was housebound
