For the past several years I have had my two cousins (both single guys with no other family nearby) for Turkey day. It was OK, as it was someone for Rick to watch football with, who actually enjoyed the game.
But I got to realize that I was pretty much doing all the work. Shopping, cooking , cleaning. Rick would help me with some of the prep, and cleaning the house before, but that was it.
After he died, I thought about it, and decided I would do it once more. I let them know a while back. Plus, my niece wants me to start coming over there, and staying with them a couple days.
So, this is it. And I have no qualms about it. Time to pass the torch and just be a guest. Who will help with some prep and clean up, of course.
I figure that I can buy some turkey parts, and make myself a small feast at some point, complete with my moms dressing and all. And all will be right with the world.
