I really shouldn’t read stuff like that at work. My actual work doesn’t make me LOL like that. Happy Thanksgiving! ---

We’re trying to decide which roasting method to use. It can get very confusing. Every web site has a different roasting time. But I’m sure we’ll figure it out. We always do. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I’m very grateful for the SDMB. It has brought me countless hours of entertainment, information, encouragement, questions and answers all from the smartest people in the world. ---

The family will gather, we’ll eat the same menu and play cards, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ll be at church later in the morning, but my bread is already baked. It may be the last Thanksgiving we have while my grandmother is with us(she’s less than a month short of being 107), so I’ll give thanks for being witness to such a remarkable life. ---

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone enjoys the day. We have rain today. That gives me the perfect excuse to skip my walk. What more could a girl ask for? Well, besides turkey and dressing and yams and black beans and rice and…I think I’ll skip the scale tomorrow. 🙂 ---

My mom and I are together this year for Thanksgiving. I’m so thankful that she’s here and still healthy & safe. Time to build a few more great memories together. 😉 ---
