Thanksgiving

We are going to postpone our "Thanksgiving" dinner until Saturday. A couple of reasons for this. One, everyone is still sick and we don't have much of an appetite, plus, I don't feel well enough to undertake making a meal. The other reason is my daughter's best friend. She's 19. And, it turns out, she has never had a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. I don't think her family has ever sat down and had any meal together. Usually they grab their plates of food and retire to the couch or their bedrooms to watch TV while they eat. So, I invited her over for a "traditional" Thanksgiving meal on Saturday. She's actually looking forward to it. I will go all out, tablecloth, centerpiece, etc. I'm even going to attempt to make turkey gravy for the first time. (I usually buy the jars of pre-made stuff.)

Happy Thanksgiving!
