A Thanksgiving Alone, But Not Alone

Posted on 11/24/2016 4:12:24 PM PST by dirtboy

Normally I would go to my only relative I talk to in the area, my cousin, but he's down in Williamsburg on vacation. So I am home alone, made a modest Thanksgiving dinner with a New Braunsfels smoked chicken (yum!), mashed potatoes, dressing and peas. I had a co-worker invite me over to his house if I wanted to, but I politely declined - I like the guy, he is a fellow Trump supporter in my department. But I am really not alone. I have all my FReeper buds keeping me company this holiday. And for that I give thanks.

Ah,,,interesting. I had no idea George meant man of the Earth, and the gardening fits right in too.

Cheers!

I’m at home for Thanksgiving myself. I finished my night shifts this morning, so I wasn’t in a position to drive very far. And the entire family lives in Florida, while I’m in Tennessee. So I roasted a couple of turkey drumsticks, mashed up some potatoes, and made some garlic green beans for dinner.

We lost my mother last December and my older brother passed in June so the family is a little out of sorts right now. We will be getting together in mid-December when I have the time to take off from work for a week.

Not with FR. This is my home base from which I gather news to fling out to the rest of the world.

Sorry to hear that, I hope things come back together for your family. My parents are still doing OK, but I think I will have to move to Texas soon to take care of them, they are both in their eighties. Thankfully my job does not require me to physically be in the office, but as it is my boss works out of the Austin office so he actually would like me to move down there.

Amen to that. And now something completely different.
