    COOKING
    Dear Susie,

    My daughter, son-in-law,and their 4 children are coming up for Thanksgiving dinner and staying the weekend. So it's a lot of cooking, site seeing, and attending a family reunion on Saturday. PARTY, PARTY, PARTY. I ordered the turkey today. GOBBLE GOBBLE.

    My son and his family will be with his wife's family. I get them every other Thanksgiving Day..

    I wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.

    Lots of Hugs,
    Janelle

    Still not sure.
    I know I will be making a turkey at home for my husband and my mother. I am still undecided to invite my friends that we have had dinner with the last couple of years. I am hesitating on this because I am having some major dental work done 6 days before Thanksgiving and I am not sure if I will feel up to having anyone here.

    Hugs,
    Georgia

    Good luck Georgia with your

    Thanksgiving
    I am in charge of my town's community Thanksgiving dinner. I have lots of great helpers
    --some who are cancer survivors. We serve the usual meal & deliver it--could go as high
    as 500 this year! I have been doing this for 30+ years & it is such a great experience!

    Susie...you're so clever!
    I love the scrollie thing.

    Well, we always get together at my parents house and this year will be no different. Turkey with the works but most important, I get to be with my loved ones. So grateful for that.

    Happy Thanksgiving to ALL!

    Andie and I will be going to

    Andie and I will be going to my daughter's. My son usually has it but we're over 30 this year and he doesn't have enough room. None of us drink but you would think we did - lots of loud laughter and carrying on. Great fun! I wish everybody a blessed and happy
    Thanksgiving!

    Much Love!

    Reggie and I are having "Valentine's Day" this year! I love to cook, I love to entertain, and for more years than I can remember, we have had Thanksgiving at our house with all of Reggie's family and friends who now ask if they can eat with us because I make the "good food!" LOL But this year.....
    I will have just have my 2nd round of chemo, and I didn't think I would be up for the whole she-bang. Siobhan and her g/f are headed up to Carmel to spend the holiday with her g/f's family, Reggie's girls (they are in their 20"s) are spending the holidy with their mother. We were invited to one of the friends for dinner, but I declined. I just don't know how I will be feeling, and with it being a 45 minute drive, I don't want to get there only to give Reggie "the look" and have us come home agian! And sad to say, food isn't tasting so good these days....

    Anyway, there are still 2 tradtions I will not do without! One, Reggie is Native American, and he has always half-jokingly called the day Thanks-taking Day. To "honor" that, my table has always been adorned with 2 Pilgrim Rag Dolls run through with arrows! Two, we always watch an episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer called "Pangs"~ as in pangs of conscience. It is about Reggie's Tribe ( the California Chumash) and how the spirits of the massacred Natives come back and "give back" all the diseases which the Europeans gave to them way back when! They even speak Samala~ which is the actual language spoken by the Tribe. So, it has become my Thanksgiving version of "It's Wonderful Life!" LOL

    Oh...why is it going to be Valentine's Day??? Because I am making mini-versions of turkey day favorites just for Reggie and me, but instead of turkey I am making tiny game hens! And as it is just going to be the 2 of us, it will be candle light and all of the romance associated with that day! Sparkling apple cider in champagne glasses! LOL

    Hope that we all remember that in the midst of all of the ugliness of cancer, we do have things and people to be thankful for~ as they say, when I count my blessings, I count you first!

    Hugs,
    Chen♥
