Thankful

My two cuties, snuggly in bed. This is where the Man says he plans to be on Thanksgiving. I will be having dinner at my friends Bruce and Gary's house one block north. Making a amaretto cheesecake because Bruce says I'll be turned away if I don't bring a home made dessert. They're making a 17 pound turkey. For three. If you're doing math, it's about 5.5 pounds/person. Sounds about right to me, I told them. My family is all scattered this holiday, and with my niece and nephews becoming adults, who knows what future holidays will be like. We're making new traditions. The Man, I have found out, is my real family. He stuck by me while I went through hell and back, and it wasn't easy. Last year it was just us for Thanksgiving, and I made the complete dinner. Not having a dining room, we ate in the messy kitchen. All that work, and we were finished in a half hour! If I wasn't going to dinner with my good friends, I would be eating my Thanksgiving dinner in a restaurant. That will be the new tradition going forward!
