Happy Thanksgiving

 I spent the beginning of the week making masks for the household of my oldest daughter and also one of her older half sisters.  Last night, I cut out a mask for myself and will probably finish it up today.

Truthfully, I'm not sure how today is going to go for me... this will be my first solo Thanksgiving EVER and the first one in over thirty years without my dear husband.  I think our kids in Texas want to video chat sometime this afternoon and the daughter in Wyoming might do the same - plus a nephew said that he was going to call me today to let me know his weekend plans.  I was invited to a granddaughter's home for dinner today, but declined because I'm just not ready - and the governor said no more than two households are to gather and I would be the third or fourth -- umm, no thanks.  They'll probably be ok since they ( her parents and maybe in-laws or close friends) are together quite often, but since I haven't seen them since my husband's funeral five and a half months ago, it's not a good idea.

My youngest half-sister passed away this past weekend - only 54. Her oldest son is the one who said he'd call today to let me know if he decided to come home to Michigan over the holiday weekend.  He's been handling things concerning funeral, etc. from his home in Washington, D.C. but would really like to 'touch base' with his three younger brothers in person.  With the Covid numbers being on the increase here in Michigan, he's been a little hesitant about coming now, but I think he feels he should - he just won't take the risk of flying and hopes he can find a car to rent.

The weather here is YUCKY... no white stuff, thank goodness, but plenty of rain.  I have wreaths and a cross to place at the cemetery and would really rather wait another day or so before I go - guess I'd better check the weather forecast.

Anyway... no quilting in my near future, although I have a top and backing hanging out on Moe's frame for when the urge hits... just a simple, small quilt, probably baby quilt size that I pulled from my rack of WTBQs (waiting to be quilted).

I bought two turkey 'tv dinners' and a package containing two slices of frozen cheesecake the other day.... one of each for today's dinner and the other for another night.  I have frozen veggies and fresh potatoes to add to the turkey and dressing dinner, if I want.  

I hope you all have a Blessed day with lots of turkey and pie and family/friends.  Enjoy what you have while you have it.

Take Care...

Stay Safe....
