Thanksgiving

Just when the flurry of sewing costumes was over, I managed to get sick with a very nasty virus.  It knocked me out with a sore throat and a cough for days.  I finally went to the doctor (and if you know me you know I hate to go to the doctor) to make sure it wasn't strep.  I was afraid I'd made people sick at Thanksgiving.  But it wasn't strep, for which I was really thankful.

This is the first time I haven't had Thanksgiving dinner at my house in probably 25 years.  We went to a cousin of my husband's who we usually invite to our house, and we had a very nice time.  I was grateful, since I wouldn't have been able to have dinner at our house.  No energy to clean, bake or host.  I was able to make my cranberries and my fruit salad and we just went.  It was very relaxing.  I am thinking of doing a turkey soon though, we just didn't have any leftovers.  :)

So now it's time to get ready for Christmas.  We are having people over for Christmas dinner.  :)  I have a few gifts purchased.  Time to get the rest done.
