There are only two of us, so I serve up Thanksgiving Dinner the easy way -- bought already cooked and just needing heated up. Only takes about an hour of actual effort -- spread out over about 2-1/2 hours. Weather is supposed to be nasty, so we will probably just stay indoors and be lazy. I think I'll have DH bring up a bottle of wine to go with the turkey. Yes, lace will probably be part of the 'being lazy' bit as we watch TV. I'm still making ornaments--just starting number eight. I hope to make three more at least before I get tired of these patterns. I'm thankful for medium good health and no aching hip, so I can do my many activities with minimum pain. DH and I got out of the habit of traveling to family for this day when we had the store. Family was too far away for a one-day trip and the store was open the day after Thanksgiving. Now it's habit to have a quiet day. Now I have to run to the store to pick up this the box with the ready- to-heat meal items. (Turkey, potatoes, gravy, dressing, pie, rolls, cranberry sauce, and maybe more that I can't think of right now.) It's worth the cost of the food to not have to spend the whole day in the kitchen. I can't make lace in the kitchen! Happy lacing, Alice in Oregon - Happy Thanksgiving to all USA lacemakers!!
