I must admit that I've done much of nothing today, and it felt really good!  I DIDN'T cook Thanksgiving dinner....  I never do. My kitchen is way too little for cooking a big dinner for family, and we don't have enough room for everyone to sit anyway. We usually go to my in-laws or my parents for Thanksgiving. These last two years have been a little different though. MIL asked if we wanted her to cook or if we wanted to go out. No one really had an opinion, so I said that she should do whatever was easiest for her. She decided that it cost just as much for her to purchase and prepare food as it did for us to go out so guess what....? We went out! We ate our Thanksgiving meal at the local Cracker Barrel and we didn't have to cook or clean up the mess! Yahoo! That sure was easy. A very nice lady served us and took care of all of our needs and I enjoyed every minute of it. MIL gave her a very generous tip for her courteousness and prompt service, and she even gave my dh a good natured "hard time" in the process (which was priceless). He's very good natured and enjoyed every minute of it. We saw someone from church, and some friends we haven't seen in a very long time. It was nice to get to visit with them as we were leaving and they were coming in. I know that a lot of folks just cannot fathom not having a big family meal at someone's house. They may say "What about all the memories you are missing out on making?" My reply would be that we haven't missed a thing. We made memories today by being with family, talking and enjoying our meal together, and no one was too tuckered out to have a good time. We can make memories wherever we are, its all about the perspective we have when we do it. I pray your Thanksgiving day was spent with family and/or friends, and that you have enjoyed your day as much as I enjoyed mine. Blessings to you and your families, and come back to see me! Missy |
