Since Grandma and I are now officially (By order of our eldest daughter) the GREAT Grand Parents, this year we are invited to HER house as honored guests for the Family Thanksgiving Dinner that is being prepared by her with the help of her daughters.

Grandma’s pretty shocked by this but I’m sure she will get over it. She will probably manage to spend most of the day cooking anyway.

Me? I’m just going to go, eat as much as I want, take a nap whenever the spirit moves me in between bouts of energizing the great grandkids and very subtly laugh my backside off watching the girls’ hubbys running in all directions to get that last minute “stuff” for the feed that I used to chase half the day.

Might even be able to watch an entire football game for the first time in 50 some years....

(Speaking of which, GO NAVY...BEAT ARMY)

Happy Thanksgiving y’all.

When we lived in CA my husbands 3 brothers all lived fairly close so we took turns with the holidays. All the kids got the biggest kick out of seeing all 4 of them after a big meal sitting on the couch with their hands tucked in the band of their pants supposedly watching football but they were sound asleep. Those were the days.
