Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / November 2007Happy Thanksgiving
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving full of love and joy and peace. Please enjoy your families and take many pictures :-) I hope these will be some helful hints: If possible, have everyone bring a dish so you won't have to do so much cooking. Use the "good" plastic plates and plastic cups for coffee as well as drinks. For many desserts you can also use the plastic silverware. Then you won't have so many dishes to wash. Remember to sit down and relax and enjoy your loved ones. You don't have to be a hostess for family... let them wait on themselves. If they want something and don't know where it is, just tell them. You don't have to get up and get it for them. I hope I'm not sounding bossy. But I just don't want anyone going into a flair because of overworking during the Holiday. In closing... I know I don't post much but I do think about you and you will be one more thing I will be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Many of you I have known for 11 years or longer. I am very thankful for you and for my new friends as well. When you have a moment during this busy time please pray for us who have lost a loved one. I, for one, need all the prayers and good thoughts you may have for me. Let's all remember our soldiers and their families. Let us pray for their safe return and pray for their families here at home. This will make us appreciate our own time with our loved ones even more. Have a "FUN" Thanksgiving and hug each member of your family! I will be hoping all of you have a pain-free and stress-free day. Love, Rose Rose, the same back to you. Take your own advice and have a lovely, easy Thanksgiving.

(and we're making it very easy - joining two other families for Thanksgiving at one of the family homes) That reminds me of an excellent speaker I heard 23 years ago. After his unhappy divorce, he learned that providing the traditional Thanksgiving dinner for his kids was way beyond his skills. So they established a family tradition of making a big pot of very good chili and having an open door policy for friends and neighbors all day. Others could come by for a while before or after their own T-day stuff. It was just a delightful way of making their own tradition to fit their abilities. (I wish I could stand to type out the tale as he told it - full of humor, but it's too many words right now.) Nann We're having ThanksChristmas this year. That way those who have to travel long distances won't have to worry about missing the in-laws' parties or traveling when the rest of the world is traveling. On Dec 1st, Bob's son from his first marriage and the son's family are coming from Cleveland, our son, daughter and daughter's husband are coming from Maryland, and Bob's sister is coming from Caldwell, Ohio to our house. We'll have both ham and turkey and all the fixings (provided by our local grocer) and have a big dinner about 4 PM, then open presents and just visit. They'll all head home after lunch on Sunday. Then, for Christmas itself, since he has no in-laws this year, our son will come back and spend a few days with us. So everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving on Thursday! We'll be thinking about you!

That is the way to do it combine the two and get it all over and done with at one time, I never thought of that. I hope you all have a great time.

A shame I didn't know you back when it was my time to furnish the meal! This year my daughter-in-law and 20 year old grandson are in Guatamala on a mission trip from our church so Billy and I will be going to a restaurant with friends that serves delicious meals, (the restaurant not the friends!) especially at T'giving, in a town not far from Montgomery. Annie will probably go where her boyfriend goes; his family usually invites her everywhere. I had Billy for after church lunch yesterday; then he went home to see about Annnie who was running a temp of 102. (Where is the degree key on a computer?) Her boyfriend's father is a doctor so he wrote prescriptions for flu and for antibiotics so she would be covered for either a virus or bacterial infection and Chris got them before he came over after church. She stayed home from school today but was able to go to Chris's this afternoon to study for a mid-term tomorrow. With Jayne and Cliff gone, will be rather quiet except for lunch with friends.

Great helpful hints. I wouldn't have thought of some of them. No you are not sounding bossy. You are looking out for us. You are one that I am thankful for too. What is happening Rose, did I miss something. I will be praying for you. I hope you have a pain free and stress free day and days too. SignatureLove and Hugs to all Jo the squirrely one I am nuts about you. >I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving full of love and joy and > peace. [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] > > Love, Rose We're going to my son's in-laws. We've been invited for both Thanksgiving and Christmas most years. They are so sweet. If it wasn't for that, I'm afraid Mom and I would go to Lizard's Thicket (local area chain of home cooked meals - inexpensive) for Thanksgiving day turkey! Last year, my son had it at his place. SignatureNavy Take out the FISH to email me. >I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving full of love and joy and > peace. [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] > > Love, Rose Thank You Rose and back at you!!! I will be cooking again as usual, but this and Christmas are the two meals I really enjoy doing... Except for the pain..lol. I told Mike last week we should all just go to Furrs...And after shopping today for the grub, I am thinking that sounds better and better...lol I think the shopping is worse than the cooking... And Thank you Rose for reminding me of all I have to be thankful for...And reminding me to slow down >I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving full of love and joy and > peace. [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] > > Love, Rose I shop, too, Cindy. I shop at the deli counter and order my turkey and fixin's. Then all I do is heat and serve. I have done this for about 15 years now, since I first found out I could. I spend about the same amount of money and a TON less of work. The only things I make on my own here are the deviled eggs and stuffed celery. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
