I took a lovely 3.5 mile walk with my SIL and there was NO wind in Iowa that day! Incredible.<br />Hope your kid survived his holiday work shifts so far.

Whenever I've served it earlier, I had to get up really early to get the turkey in the oven on time, and there is less time to get all the cooking done, even if I make a lot of the stuff a day ahead. But what bothers me the most about serving dinner early is that there is this sort of migration of individuals through the kitchen at around 8 PM, with family and guests hunting for a turkey sandwich. When I serve at 3 PM, we have pie at 6 PM, and that's it. <br /><br />Enjoy your new new fridge!Common Household Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03715969218648104267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-37424994931866114872016-11-26T03:12:34.838-05:002016-11-26T03:12:34.838-05:00I stayed home on Thanksgiving Day (tied to the kit...I stayed home on Thanksgiving Day (tied to the kitchen in a familiar way, as most of us were) and Friday was spent babysitting the grandbaby while his parents had a nice day and evening out. I *should* have mailed packages at the Post Office but we told them to not bother taking the car seat out of their vehicle, so that's my Saturday job now. <br />With everyone here for a few days, I spend most of my time cleaning up after them all.

Excepting only gas stations (out of necessity), I won't patronize any retail establishments during Thanksgiving. And afterward, I will preferentially give my shopping dollars to companies that closed for the holiday (REI, I'm looking at you!)RobinHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325359641194305097noreply@blogger.com
