Happy Thanksgiving to y'all up there! :)

We usually celebrate our Thanksgiving at my folks house just down the road, and have both. My mom makes the turkey, and my DWifey makes the ham. :hungry:

We're just havin' a lazy day here, as well, and watchin' some college football.

Sorry about the cold temps.
It's 77 and clear here right now, and supposed to get up to 91... :oops: ;)

Same here weather-wise. Not even 11am yet and it's 93!! :hungover: :in pain: :banghead:

Turkey and ham...now that's the way to go. Sounds like you have raided the farm.

A lot of their actions came from a different time. A time when parents were the law and they recognized it as their responsibility to stop people from "going astray". (I know that sounds a lot like the current political climate in this country.)

My mother was a little like that, but, it was directed more at her grandchildren then her children (of course, that might have been because we were perfect angels (as far as she knew) . I remember when my youngest daughter moved in with her future husband and invited us all to Thanksgiving dinner. My Mother steadfastly refused to go because they were "living in sin" and she didn't approve. I simply said to her... Mom, you have two choices. The first is that you can stand your ground and all you are going to do is alienate your grandchild or you can accept that what they do is their business and is no reflection on you. The only thing that first thing will do is make it so you lose what might be a great relationship with a person that is very much a part of your family. Ask yourself how many years you still have left to enjoy your family and decide if being stubborn will be worth the loss. God's not going to hold you responsible for things that they do. She went and it was never mentioned again.
Way to be diplomatic! Yes, it was definitely a different time. When my mother was growing up, a young woman didn't leave her parents' home until she got married. By the time I came around, girls moved out to go to college and you didn't have to have a man to have your own home, etc...I think it was hard for my mom. I just wish she had trusted herself in how she raised me.

Woof, indeed! I don't know how our cats can still look comfortable in this weather. :cat:

It's the tiny hats.
