Nothing on Thursday- just football and maybe I’ll see if my local Chinese place is open.
Picking my son up from Milwaukee on Friday. Can’t wait to see him.

Overeat and spend the rest of the day regretting it. Same as every year.

Cooking, eating, drinking and being incredibly grateful for my loving family.

Sis-in-law was hosting but came down with whatever going around- so last moment plans change, and friends are coming to us.

Turkey on the grill, most but not all the fixins’. Football (not futbol) on TV. Food coma followed by Plains, Trains, and Automobiles or some other movie.

Family, food, and counting blessings. That’s the plan.

Daughters coming from out of state to my mothers… looking forward to family, food and ‘Merican football.

Turkey, multiple kinds of cranberry, and pies, oh the pies.

Here I thought the Chinese restaurants were open on Christmas so the Jews had a place to order from. (drum snare)
Usual Thanksgiving trimmings. In the summer Trader Joes sells a Meyer Lemon cake mix and it was a hit last year so repeating it again this year.

Thanksgiving at our place but our daughter, grandson and other family bring the turkey, pies and sides. I only have to clean the place and make the stuffing and game snacks. Happy face emojis.

Ditto. P,T&A is singularly the greatest holiday comedy of all time. Cannot be Thanksgiving without it.

The World Cup of the true football will roll on with four games, including favorite Brazil making its first appearance of the tournament. I’ll watch all four games, even the one starting at 4:00 AM, as I have so far and will continue doing until the tournament ends. Why? Because I can and because I love it.

Me, my dog, football, maybe a martini.
Shrimp cocktail.
Duck pasta with spinach on linguine, w garlic bread.
Friends coming over on Saturday.
Though a difficult year, much to be grateful for.

Meals with Sheba in front of the TV watching the World Cup.
Friday, meeting up with brother and his family.

Meyer lemon cake mix? I’m sooo jealous (banned punctuation).
Thanksgiving Day will be very quiet around here. We may try to do a roof repair.
Food will be a mix of homemade and deli dishes.
Friday and Saturday, we’re road tripping to Tower Rock and Portageville, MO. I’ve seen pictures and heard stories; I want to actually see and experience the Mississippi River at this low point.
With any luck, will get to go to 17th St. BBQ.

Well got to make that double time and then chill at home. Perhaps go to the movies.

I’ll be cleaning the apartment. This is a hangover from the days when I had an open house the weekend after Thanksgiving. My sibs are out of state and avoid the worst travel days of the year, so I rarely do anything on the day of.

Kids coming home from college. Looking forward to just catching up with them

I’m a transplant to Chicago, so no local family. Thankfully I have a close friend whose family is kind enough to include me at their house.

Party of one for a variety of reasons. But I hope others have a great Thanksgiving; somebody deserves to.

20 people in my house. Heaven help me.

Family and MIL going to a restaurant that has a great Thanksgiving plate on the menu. No muss, no fuss. Thankful for all our blessings (banned punctuation)

Sweet potato pie…ad libitum.

Off topic but can we talk about the “Battle of Archer Ave”? AKA Mexico vs Poland in the World Cup? Ended in a tie, but the most exciting tie ever. Mexico’s Ochoa saved a penalty kick from none other than Robert Lewandowski, one of the best forwards in the game. Both teams have their work cut out for them because of Argentina’s stunning loss to Saudi Arabia, but for now peace reigns along the Archer corridor in Chicago’s SW side.
