Our family is hoping my nephew bags a doe on Black Friday. I have really daft plans -- today we are eating with my husband's brother, tomorrow we are going to my sister's house, where aforementioned nephew will meet a friend to go deer hunting, and those of who don't care for TV football are -- going shopping! Shopping malls are fearfully crowded on the day after Thanksgiving. Though the origin of the term "Black Friday" is unknown, it's a plausible explanation that this is a day when stores can count on writing their accounts with black ink. But with a little luck, I might be able to use my sister's grandson and granddaughter to select gifts for DH's brother's grandson and granddaughter. -- Joy Beeson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.earthlink.net/~joybeeson/ http://home.earthlink.net/~beeson_n3f/ http://www.timeswrsw.com/craig/cam/ (local weather) west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A. where the forecast is "rain likely, followed by a chance of rain."

Re: [lace-chat] Thanksgiving plans?
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I am looking forward to a day in the kitchen!! Except for lacemaking, I probably enjoy cooking the most - but only when there are people to enjoy it!! So this feast day is one of my favorites! DD and her boys (and her DH) arrived last evening, and my tidy house was quickly reduced to chaos by the two boys!! SIL has gone hunting this morning, and if he bags a deer I hope he gives it to the "Hunters for the Hungry" program... I certainly don't want to eat Bambi. He'll be home in time to watch football on TV with my DH and DS, while DD and I share our chores in the kitchen. We'll have roast Turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, "smashed" potatoes, gravy, rolls, and the green-bean casserole that has graced our holiday tables since I was a child. My children don't think we've had Thanksgiving dinner unless it's there. We'll have pumpkin pie for dessert. Do you see a carb fest here? Thank goodness it's only once a year!! I think I enjoy the smells of the feast cooking as much as I do the eating. As I read over the menu, I realized how "ordinary" it sounds, but as we only do it once a year, it really is a special treat. Our eating habits have changed considerably since the days in the '70's when this menu got etched on our brains as "the" Thanksgiving dinner! So I hope you all enjoy your day in the way that makes you happiest, and hope everyone stays safe and healthy!! Clay Clay Blackwell Lynchburg, VA, USA - Original Message - From: "M. L.

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!!
