Thanksgiving for Me

It is the only time I have a real turkey, and I look forward to it. No one in my family except me likes it. This is the main reason I like Thanksgiving. Last year my husband brought home a dinky turkey; not kosher. It was also the year my relatives plopped in for the meal. So, neither my husband or I got to taste the teensy bird. Because there was only enough for the guests. There were no seconds. This year I will be choosing my own turkey. No one needs to come for our meal. We will have turkey, dressing, corn, potatoes and pie. No fruits or vegetables; we do not eat them. I am getting used to retirement and being alone; and I love it. My husband never liked company anyway. Which I did not understand. But now I do. Thanksgiving will be a day to eat and nap. Joys of retirement I am thankful for.
