Well today is the American international day of TURKEY. Yes I mean turkey. We don't gather around a table today to give thanks for things that have happened to us. We gather because we know that one person (and I mean this literally in some instances) will cook, serve, and manage to clean the kitchen. We join because we know....IT'S NOT US DOING IT! I drove an hour and half to get to my destination with my family, cake in hand of course.

I must say I've managed to survive my first thanksgiving day without turkey. Of course, I had a little help in that direction. Burning the turkey has that effect on lots of people. However, being the traditional cajun thanksgiving, we had 3 meats so I wasn't at a loss for meat. Sorry to you veggies out there. Thought you almost had me huh? HEHEHE.

I had to spend most of my day with my family, and I say this loosely. They are an interesting bunch I must admit. The children and the children's parents who weren't children very long ago. You have to have members of your family to understand this. I did feel like I was the last of a dying breed however. The only one who was not married or had not had kids yet. Felt really strange...sort of like the only person wearing bright pink in a land of shades of grey. It's always a strange feeling at this time of the year.

Got in my car to go and get some food tonight and turned it to 96.1. Christmas music from here till Christmas. It's great! "Rocking around the Christmas tree...." *continues humming to herself*

HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL!
