Sheila, we once did a Thanksgiving eating out....and like you, I didn't like it and have never done that again.  We had the oldest granddaughter with us--- and were in Branson, MO.  This was years ago, and Branson was not the huge tourist place it is now.  We like to never have found a place to eat out on Thanksgiving, there was only ONE place open---  and the food was bad.  The dressing was really awful.  Dressing is the main item in our family..  I cook a recipe that came down from my maternal grandmother-- and may be even further back than her. 

Sue, good you enjoyed your visit with family in Colorado.... and good you flew up, and don't have to drive winter conditions to get home again.  It will be good to see Bob again... know it's been "too long"..  I like and enjoy our Christmas outside decor....but if it were not for Milt wouldn't even put up the  tree inside.  It's not like it is hard to do.  The tree is all decorated and stands, covered in old sheets, in the corner of the garage.  All we have to do is move it in, and plug her in!!  Being the light freak I am --- I do enjoy looking at the lights.  So looking forward to seeing you at the Columbus Rally.

Trudy I guess you don't know the Trudy all we Forum Sisters know, love and enjoy.  You have so many wonderful caring attributes to "bring to the table".... Don't be giving up on yourself!!  Surely happy to hear you are considering beginning bowling and checking into The Blue Thong Society (as in flip flops) to enrich your life with a circle of new friends.  Life is too short to do otherwise.  You go girl...My vote is on you!!

Martha, sounds like you need to get one of those new flat screen TV's and bolt it to the cabinet top as you would in your motorhome to keep your "little darling cats" from using it as a gymnastics springboard!!!  Grin. Hope your son and grandson do make it for Thanksgiving.    I too vote against going out to eat on Thanksgiving-- I don't know what will happen here for Thanksgiving as far as family getting together.   Looking forward to seeing you in Columbus.  Will be SO fun!

Enjoy the day, all!

Happy RVing!

I think my favorite Thanksgiving was the one where we went to the buffet ! I don't like the whole sit down bit deal meal thing. I hate that someone (or many someone's) take hours and hours to cook and then we all have to cram in at a table and spend the whole meal passing food back and forth, then in no time at all, the same someone's who spent all day cooking have to spend the rest of the day cleaning - I like doing nothing or going to a buffet. I sound like a real Scrouge don't I !!!

I hope the dates go well !! I want to hear about them :D

Well, since we seem to be sharing Thanksgiving memories, I'll chime in with my rather unorthodox holidays. We often spent the whole day out. First, we HAD to attend the football game at the local high school, usually freezing our butts (this was New England, after all). Then we had reservations at a fancy local hotel or restaurant - sometimes a buffet, sometimes family style. After dinner, we often went to the premier showing of a new movie. There were always a blockbuster or two that were opening on Thanksgiving Day. We would return home in the early evening still stuffed from our dinner and usually discussing the movie.

Did we miss the leftover turkey sandwiches? Sure, but my mother was known to sometimes cook a small turkey the weekend after Thanksgiving so we'd have leftovers! She was a full-time working Mom and this saved her slaving all day cooking a huge meal and she got to enjoy her holiday.
