So far this is NOT the Thanksgiving I envisioned.
I planned for Thanksgiving with my DH, my two daughters and husband's 89-year-old father.
What I am getting is:
1. Daughter #2 - Michigan resident - still stuck in Michigan due to car accident early last week. WE MISS YOU!
2. Daughter #1 - Tennessee resident - works until 2 pm, here for dinner and "hanging out" and then back to work for a split shift on freakin' Thanksgiving.
The turkey is done. The stuffing and green bean casserole are both ready to go in the oven. Gravy and mashed potatoes still to be completed. Shrimp cocktail ready to be consumed.
Things I am really thankful for this Thanksgiving.
1. Daughter #2 not injured during last week's accident.
2. Daughter #1 has a job and is getting extra hours.
Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Ups & Downs
DH and I have spent the last couple weeks trying to get pictures organized (and off the furniture in the guest room, and the floor, etc) and hung on the walls. All this in anticipation of our first over night guest, younger daughter from the frozen Great Lakes state.
Well, Tuesday night our bubble was burst when younger daughter called me to relate the details of the accident she had that evening. We are very grateful nobody was injured, but it kills her trip here for the week of Thanksgiving.
So, younger daughter, if you are reading here is the menu for next week:
Sunday - Vegetable Lasagna.
Monday - Sweet and sour meatballs. This is a huge favorite in our house.
Tuesday - not planned. Probably would have been some leftovers, or dinner out.
Wednesday - Pancake dinner - my kids and DH love my chocolate chip pancakes.
Thursday - Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes & green bean casserole. Shrimp cocktail appetizers. Dessert to be determined. Rumor has it that we might have DQ ice cream cake.
Friday - Turkey pot pie - homemade from leftovers from Thursday's dinner.
Saturday - To be determined.
I rarely cook that often, but since the whole family was gonna be around for a week, thought we'd get some nice family dinners out of it.
Maybe Christmas ...
