Our two daughters and their families/significant others live within 15 miles of us and my mother is one town away...but we have all decided to just stay in our respective dwellings...we are confidant next year will be much more normal.
Pretty sure there will be face-time or zoom or whatever people do now. Won't be the same but the risk, especially for my mother and everyone back at her assisted living facility if we made a mistake, is too great.
Sure gonna miss the chaos though. Might be hanging around here more than usual.
Hated to cancel those flights though.
Deepfrying 2 turkeys, a 10lb standing rib roast and 6 lb spiral sliced ham with all the fixings.
Probably have higher end turkey subs and call it a day. Likely the same plan for Christmas.
Homeless drive? Who knew?
After that it will be just the wifey and I with a turkey breast and the trimmings.
On another note, I just saw an article that says everyone can donate up to $300 cash this year and get a deduction on your taxes even if you do not itemize. We always itemize but even if you don't this is a good reason to donate this year to a local charity.
I heard flying is safer than driving... 😟

I could sure use 2 Deepfried turkeys, a 10lb standing rib roast and 6 lb spiral sliced ham about now... 😟
And what will you have for dinner ?
Wife and I aren't doing anything Thursday (as far as I know). She'll likely want to cook something. And I will likely want to eat it, so there's that.
[chef] =p~
same as it ever was or stripped down?

Stripped down here..........no company except my Step-Dad who had open heart surgery 3 months to the day before mine.He isolates as well and we all have a zero tolerance policy for outside visiters in the house.....ZERO.Texas is hot right now and hospitals in my area are full,many covid patients are stuck in rural hospitals ill equipped to care for them.This is not the time to become complacent if you have underlying conditions.
2020 SUCKS!!! May 2021 be a damn sight better
BTW smoked brisket,potato salad and pinto beans with all the trimmings
Roast pork (pernil), rice, and beans for our thanksgiving dinner.
Happy to have time with my daughter this year.
Normally my wife’s niece hosts a combined families potlock dinner with about 25 people in attendance. All sorts of dishes with enough leftovers for everyone to last at least two days. This year will be just our immediate family having lunch at our house. We’ll be roasting the turkey (...first time in almost 20 years...), making sweet potatoes with marshmallows, cranberry Jello, and Pumpkin Crunch for dessert. Daughter will be bringing stuffing (...it’s *really* good...). Our son is gonna make his fancy mashed potatoes and buy some poke.
After that it’ll be football watching till (...and during...) dinner.
