In 2 days it will be Thanksgiving. Time with family, friends, pets, and maybe a few undesirables. But hey, who doesn't have a few in their family?
If your family is like mine, it has seen it's share of changes over the years. Some have left on their own accord ( or with some help!) and others have sadly passed on. I really look forward to Thanksgiving. When the kids get to sit at the card table in the family room. When the good dishes all come out. It is a great holiday to just let it all go and dive right into gluttony. I have learned over the years to wear clothes that expand with your ever ballooning gut and be sure to wear socks with no holes.
I've learned not to sit in my brother, the Trash Natzi's brown recliner, or to complain about lumpy mashed potato's unless I made them! It is also a time to let the TV blast loudly away so all the old folk can hear the Chiefs or whatever lame football game is playing. Hell, I might even play cards this year!
So, whatever traditions or mishaps you may encounter this Thanksgiving, just remember the family members that are no longer with us, and the family and friends that are. Remember to thank the host and hostess. And in my family, always remember to let Steve take the trash out.
Oh yea, what does this picture have to do with Thanksgiving? Absolutely nothing. That's how I roll.
