Well the Thanksgiving meal went off without a hitch, we had our youngest and her hubby and in laws with us and that was fun. Mom and dad enjoyed everything. I was up cooking at 8 and didn't get done until 1:00 and that is with making my piecrusts and stuffing and sweet potatoes the day before. I wanted to paint for a few hours but ended up watching TV and resting.
Thanksgiving is a lot of work. Then is is a lot of clean up. Lil sis's house was so beautiful and it took us an hour and a half to do the dishes. Then home to watch the Queen. Mom had never seen the series. She and even dad enjoyed it. That is good it will give them something to watch today while I am gone.
We brought lots of leftovers home with us so we have food for a couple of days. I have to go to the Harley Davidson dealer ship today. I will be sewing on patches. I am also going to take some work with me. Then at 3 I will shut down and go look for new carpet for the basement.
After dinner last night I felt that we cooked way too much food and I ended up overstuffed with a stomach ache. IS this really what the holiday is about? I will be rethinking it for next year. It was super fun to get together with everyone and that is what I really loved.
Have a great after The Holiday day, don't spend too much money, I am avoiding the shopping hoopla! Are any of you going out today?

Not going out today, too tired from yesterday. We had 30 for Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. Today we will put the chairs and tables away, put lots of clean dishes away, and clean the floors. We love our family get togethers, but the workload is heavy. Get some rest!
ReplyDeleteWow, 30? I remember those days, our family here is not that big. We had 10 and I thought that was a lot of work. glad you made it through.
DeleteI just want a mattress cover, not going out for a deal. With the gastroparesis, even a moderate amount of food and no seconds, I felt stuffed and uncomfortable. But, it was all delicious if I say so myself.
ReplyDeleteHappy you had a nice turkey day!
DeleteGlad you had such a good time with family. The food is always good, but everyone always makes too much.
ReplyDeleteNo shopping at the sales for me today. I did run to the grocery for a great deal on sugar and I got 4 gift cards. I am done and in the house for the weekend.
Enjoy those leftovers.
We have had pie all day and it is wonderful. I am painting and cleaning, wish you were here I would put you to work.
DeleteWe were out with family, but no shopping. Glad to hear your Tday holiday went off without a hitch.
ReplyDeleteIt did and it was wonderful. We are still eating pie!
DeleteI spent 9.5 hours riding home from our Oklahoma visit with the youngest son. No shopping. No clean up. Not overstuffed. No leftovers. We had a casino buffet Thanksgiving dinner.
ReplyDeleteNow that sounds like my kind of thanksgiving. What is worse a long car ride or a lot of cooking and cleaning.
