I like Thanksgiving. Once Brent and I get da boid in the oven the rest of the day can be taken care of pretty casually. My folks are always in attendance as are mine brither and Brent's Mom, so I always can pretty much count on those 6. The last few years neighbors Loren and Deb Barisch have been available to join us. Travis actually was kind enough to eat two Thanksgiving meals and I really do appreciate it.
I tend to be very traditional. I love the table cloth that Jayne Zamzes bought for me many years ago. It's perfect for the Fall and harvest themes. Out come the gold chargers, the knife rests, the butter molds, and all the other stuff that I use only for the holidays.
Toasts are also a big thing for us. We take turns and this year Dad was stuck....um I mean Dad was excited abou giving his toast!
Brent always cleans up da boid and stuffs the sucker after I get the filling made. Then he does an expert job of carving. Unfortunately as you can tell from the picture, I forgot to properly finish the darn turkey by browning the skin. Poopers. It's not beautiful, but it's darn tasty.
On one hand, the bad thing about Thanksgiving is that you do a lot of work and 30 minutes later it's all over. The good thing about Thanksgiving is all the leftovers!
