I assume some/many/most/all LODEGONIANS will be scattering to the four winds later this week for Thanksgiving Day celebrations. Let me pose TWO questionS before we go on our merry way: how many people will be attending the gathering at which you will be? Are you hosting the gathering or is someone else acting as host?
Mrs. Shot and I will be going to a gathering at her sister's house not far from where we live. My wife is one of ten siblings so holiday gatherings are usually on the large size. Thirty-two people have been invited, but we know two of them won't be there. [My wife's niece is dating a nice young man. Most unexpectedly that young man's mother--age 51--died of a massive stroke late last week. My wife's niece will be with her boyfriend and his family as they go through funeral preparations].
Because my wife is such a good cook she'll be preparing quite a bit of the food, including a twenty-five pound turkey [one of two, the other will be a Cajun spiced-deep fried-number] various forms of cranberry sauces and stuffing for the turkey.
Okay...so where are you headed? Who's going to be there? Let's hear from you. And SAFE TRAVELS & HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!
