Thanksgiving 2017 Are You looking Forward To It?

Beautiful turkey Rose! :sunglass: We don't do the traditional celebration anymore, but usually make something special for dinner, bbq St. Louis ribs, crab legs, crab cakes, etc. We'll buy a turkey or two if there's a good sale, freeze it and have it some other time of the year.
 
I certainly am. Last year, I was alone, on the Big Island. This year I'm driving up to Aurora, CO to see my son & DIL. Their 2 sons are flying in, so it will be a great 4 or 5 days.
 

Looking forward to it? Darned right I'm looking forward to it. I look forward to any day that I get up in the morning, even if it isn't a holiday! Some mornings I wake up and am surprised to still be here!

I'm dog sitting from tomorrow morning until the Saturday after Thanksgiving, but *my* dog only lives down the road about a mile, and she's used to being along during the day. I'll come home Tuesday for a few hours to make a cheesecake for Thursday and then again all day on Thursday (because this gramma does most of the cooking) and be home before dark.

One good thing about doing the cooking is that when I cook, I don't really feel like eating much, so while everybody else is moaning about being too full, I'm happily munching away on dessert(s).

Now that we're past Hallowe'en, it's Happy ThanksMasNew!
 
Absofreakinlutely! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Last year we traveled three hours to my sister`s but this year we are traveling about a mile down the road to our daughter`s. Only our oldest won`t be there because she lives 3 hours away and has to work Friday,but she`s coming up Friday night so we`ll still get to see her. Oldest grandson is coming up from L.A.-actually coming this Sat. to surprise his "little" brother by attending his football playoff game and and see him (unless something really weird happens) break the county football passing record,set in 1990. He broke the school record last game,so this is the "big one" lol. And most importantly,he will be ringing Luke,our greatgrandson. Definitely don`t get to see him enough. All that will change next June when they move back here :)
 
I look forward to being with my brother,John&family for a couple of days,nice change of scenery{they live in Rye,NY}.The weather shouldn't be a problem this yr as I fly on Tues to NYC. I didn't go last yr didn't feel up to it. Sue
 
Yes!

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday!

We like Thanksgiving...especially since one of the daughters now hosts the day, and does all the cooking, etc. The daughters and granddaughters rotate their days with the in-laws, but this year, everyone should be present for this Holiday....it should be a really nice day.

Well, if you can keep a secret, when I leave Colorado, I'm taking a little detour to southern Ohio to meet with a lady friend, and when I leave there (in another week), she's coming along to live with me to Arizona. Remember, it's a secret. Haven't told my family. ;)

I won't say a word! Have fun and best wishes!
 
Usually have a house full here. But my wife had to have hernia surgery Tuesday, so we had to cancel our Thanksgiving dinner.

So, she is recuperating. I'll go out to a great place and get 2 take-out dinners. I'm still thankful that we have the health we do, and my daughters will come the next day, so it will be great!

Hope she heals quickly. You'll have a good time the next day when the daughters come over.
 
Got most my shopping done today including buying the Guest of Honor. Just need to get the fresh stuff and the sausage for my stuffing and I will be set. Am I looking forward to it Not sure.. We only have two of my cousins over for the meal. I am upset because one of the guys works at Walmart and has to work He was hoping he would get an early shift as he has had late shifts the last couple years. BUT he has to work 11:AM till 8:30 M. You would think since ALL emloyees have to work, they would at least give them a shorter shift.
