Thanksgiving This Year
The last few years Thanksgiving was a lot of turkey for the two of us.
Our children usually have other plans. Our friends do too.
This year I decided no more turkey, I wanted beef. I began cooking it at five.
It looks pretty tender.
I have invited my friend Elise, who was delighted.
I was surprised, thinking she would beg off.
But she called and said she would love to.
And we would love to have her.
If I give her my bad cold I will feel badly,
But I love company.
I texted my daughter Angela that she is welcome.
She almost never says yes.
She texted that she is coming!
Lunch is all ready, and it looks fabulous!
I am excited beyond excited!
What a great day because we have doubled
The amount of people who will be here!
I am excited beyond belief!
This ended up being a terrific fabulous wonderful Thanksgiving!
Angela brought vegetables all over the place and created dishes.
It was spectacular.
I never taught her this.
U-tube maybe?
Elise brought salad.
We sent her home with most of it.
We are not rabbits.
I ate more beef than most people eat in a year.
Complete with potatoes and carrots.
I am from Iowa after all.
My husband was with me on this.
We slurped up the beef neck to neck.
This ended up being a terrific fabulous wonderful Thanksgiving!
