Happy Thanksgiving Day to those of us in the United States of America!
I don't know about you but I could use a few more days to get ready for it instead of just the remainder of this Wednesday. And our meal will be very streamlined for the two of us.
I always thought by our 80s that RH and I would be the guests at someone else's home and my only chore would be baking a Chess or Pecan pie but things didn't work out that way with children scattered too far away for us to travel.
One son may join us but as he's just flying home today after a visit to his sweetheart, I wouldn't be surprised if he decided to stay home and keep our granddoggie company tomorrow.
We love our granddoggie to pieces but he could swallow BreeBree and James Mason in two bites!
Can you see our babies behind the red chair that holds our other two guests, Mr. and Mrs. Turkey? They have a note attached to them where I'm begging they be loved by someone after I'm gone--the turkeys, that is.
Of course I have ten pages of typed notes for instructions of taking care of our dachshunds by a loved one who has promised to give them a home if needed.
I had every intention of blogging throughout November but it will be no surprise anyone to see that I haven't. Lots of pictures taken all month long but no blog posts published. Do any of my blog friends visiting do that too?
Just in case you don't see another November post from me, please enjoy every single day of the rest of this beautiful month that is my favorite month of the year!
Happy Thanksgiving! It will just be the two of us celebrating Thanksgiving also. We have the two granddogs while their family celebrates in the Cayman Islands. I can't get back into the blogging habit either, but I wish I could.
ReplyDeleteDewena, I am behind in blogging as well. I have great intentions with my sharing, but somehow always seem to fall short. I guess that just means that we have rich real life lives!! I hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving dinner. Our holiday is quite different this year, too, but as you said, when the kids move, things change. Enjoy your pups and your turkey!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving, Dewena and Co. By now you are probably replete with satisfaction after a delicious meal with your husband. Sometimes I think the two very best parts of Thanksgiving, or any large dinner, are one, the moment when everyone is seated round the table together, and two, after dinner when the kitchen is tidied, the food put away, and we all relax comfortably.
ReplyDeleteOh, Dewena, I feel the same way about still cooking Thanksgiving dinners! By the time my mother was at this stage in her life, I had been hosting the dinners for a number of years. This suddenly occurred to me just this year. No wonder I'm so tired by the end of the day, haha! My kids live far away and the rest of the family are busy with their own kids and grands. So, it's been just the two of us and my dad and stepmom. Honestly, though, I think if you're going to cook a turkey dinner, it doesn't matter if it's for 2 or 12 -- it's a lot of work. Okay, enough complaining! It was a lovely day, and I'm glad to still have the company of family.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated Thanksgiving, Dewena and RH! Having lived away from my parents and siblings and extended family for most of my adult life, I know the feeling of missing loved ones during such special moments, filled with sweet company and delicious holiday fare!
ReplyDeleteMr. and Mrs. Turkey make a handsome couple; I'm sure they feel privileged to be present for all your festivities, every year! They look very comfy and cozy on that chair!
I'm certain that your Thanksgiving dinner for two was lovely.
Take care, dear friend.

I'm late in commenting but hope you're enjoying this special time of year, dear Dewena.
