*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* Don’t get me wrong…I Love Thanksgiving Day…and Everything it brings to the Table….. It’s a Holiday with the Best of the Family at its Heart….. But the Day After…now that’s Heaven….. No rushing…No cleaning…No cooking…No baking…No aching back and feet….. …..(and for the most part the dishes are “mostly” washed and put away)…(mostly)…..

We’ll watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade…then the annual National Dog Show televised from Philadelphia…followed by stupid old movies….. …..and maybe even Jenga….. One of my (multiple) frozen turkeys has been pulled out and is dutifully thawing….. …..(do I feel guilty about buying more than my fair share of illegitimate frozen sale turkeys?…Oh…Hell No)….. …..(that frugal “coupon & deposit bottle person” inside my head has over-ridden any potential guilt)……..

Thanksgiving’s just around the bend….. I’ve got the menu in my head…..(fyi…..it’s the same one as last year)…..   …..and the year before that….. …..and the year before that…..
