A Day Of Thanks
I am blogging now because I probably won’t get to tonight. With us putting the tree up on Friday, it could be several days before you hear about my Thanksgiving; only time will tell.
Kevin and I are drinking coffee and he has already started making the hash brown casserole which is one of three things we are taking with us today. We are also taking broccoli casserole and baked macaroni and cheese. In comparison to other blogs I have read, we seem to have a very southern, very laid-back menu, but I Iove it and wouldn’t want it any other way! I will try to make a list of all the food stuffs and let you know that also. Heck, I may do a bit of a Talky while there. I’m just not sure of anything at this point.
It will take Kevin about an hour and a half to make the casserole and bake it. We won’t bake it for a while, but the preparation takes a while. My aunt only has one oven and we alone are bringing in three items which have to be baked. I think mom is bringing one or two and I have no idea how many baked items my Aunt Becky will have, so there won’t be a whole lot of room in her oven. Because of this, we are baking the hash brown casserole and the macaroni and cheese here at home before we go. The broccoli casserole will be baked at her house. I am hoping she will have room for one of my items.
I am thinking about Andrew and waiting for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to come on TV. I get as excited as a child when it comes to watching that parade! I sit here and ooh and aah over the big balloons and yell through the house, “Here comes Big Bird!” Yep. That’s what I do.
Now, here are two Thanksgiving Day jokes I received in email this morning:
Joke 1
It's the day before Thanksgiving and the butcher is just locking up when a man begins pounding on the front door.
"Please let me in," says the man desperately. "I forgot to buy a turkey and my wife will kill me if I don't come home with one!"
"Okay," says the butcher. "Let me see what I have left."
He goes into the freezer and discovers there's only one scrawny turkey left. He brings it out to show the man.
"That one's too skinny. What else you got?" asks the man.
The butcher takes the bird back into the freezer, waits a few minutes and brings the same turkey back out to the man.
"Oh, no," says the man. "That one doesn't look any better. You better give me both of them!"
Joke 2
A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store, but couldn't find one big enough for her family.
She asked the stock boy, "Do these turkeys get any bigger?"
The stock boy answered, "No, ma'am. They're dead."
Yes, you’ve probably heard them before, but they’re still funny!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Oh, I love that first joke! Hash brown casserole sounds delicious. We had a nice get-together at my MIL's church. How cool to have so much space for the potluck-style meal, our seating, and even for the kids to play. They had the church nursery, full of toys. When I left, Howie and his brothers were still playing euchre. :)
