Traveling? Staying home? Devouring the loads of green bean casserole we all feel is an essential Thanksgiving treat? What's up for you next week?
We are staying home as we do every year. The wife's family is all coming to our place with our first guests arriving Monday and the last guests coming on Wednesday. We will have a house full. Our oldest is spending her holiday with her husband's family and our oldest boy is working all day, so that will free up some space at the table. My Dad is recovering from surgery and cannot travel so they are staying home and we will go visit them in a weekend or two. We also invited a couple ladies, a mother and her adult daughter, that have fallen on hard times. In the last 6 months they lost the husband/father to cancer and the son/brother to a brain tumor. We found out that they were just not going to celebrate Thanksgiving at all so we stepped in and invited them to join our family.
We will replicate all of our traditional Thanksgiving foods and activities. The wife and daughters already have plans to begin all that this weekend. Then with any luck they will also skedaddle back to their respective homes on Friday or Saturday, giving us a day or so to recover before falling back into the routine. As the saying goes, fish and visitors start to stink after 3 days.
