Thanksgiving plans?
« on: October 28, 2020, 09:14:34 AM »
So what are you doing for Thanksgiving?  We are definitely not having 30 people over as we did last year.  We may have a few immediate family members, but even that decision will wait to see what the COVID situation is in late November.

Some of the family will probably get together.  Daughter and her brood are going over to her inlaws.  Dad (age 90) will probably hole up.  My brother the nurse will also be isolating himself from the rest of us.

Figuring my SIL, my Aunt, 2 Cousins have all been positive with Covid, I'm staying the F home. If my wife wants to go see her family, she'll be going solo. If she catches Covid she can quarantine in a motel room.

I'll probably cook a turkey loaf, mashed potatoes or funeral potatoes, and green bean casserole.  Probably take the dog out for a am pheasant hunt.

I would love to get my 93 year old dad up here, who, given his recent health might not be here next Thanksgiving, but I'm not sure he wants to make the drive again. I might just drive down there for a couple of days depending, but won't fly. I'm not concerned for myself, I just don't want to be an airport carrier (don't know how crowded it will be this year at the airports) and give him the china virus.

If it doesn't work out, I'll just stick a 10lb turkey in the oven here like I did last year.

My wife and I are flying to Vegas and having Thanksgiving Dinner in a nice restaurant.  On Friday morning we are driving to Death Valley NP and climbing Telescope peak.

Current plans are, at least for now, to spend T-giving with Castle Key and his family again.

If that doesn't happen, I'll stay home and sous vide some turkey.

Nothing great.  Sheltering in place.  Son2 usually brings me a turkey dinner care package from Wife1's cooking that weekend, but I'm not expecting that this year.

So it'll be a frozen Turkey dinner (as usual) just for the tradition of it and no big deal otherwise.

I will be celebrating Thanksgiving at home with my wife and son, which is exactly what I want.

Our plans aren't formulated yet, but they will be the same as they always are- either at our house with the grandparents or at the grandparent's house.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I plan to stay home. My wife plans to go to her sister's house. My plans are irrelevant.

About the same as last year.  We will stay home; I will roast a 16lb turkey and we'll get a pumpkin pie from Costco (wife likes them better than the same pies from Sam's, and they are cheaper than making my own)  Friday or Saturday I will make gumbo from the turkey carcass and some of the leftovers.

The biggest change this year is one of my dogs is on a diet, so they won't get near as much greasy turkey scraps.  I will try to sneak some lean meat to her, and the skin, tail, etc to the other one.

Oldest daughter and her family are probably coming to a few days. We will all be healthy or sick together.

We rotate between SWMBO family and my family so we will be staying locally this year.

We’ll have the same 13 over like we do ever weekend. Our house is rally point for our children and grand children and they all like to visit us on the weekends.
