Nice Thanksgiving

We had a nice Thanksgiving... no one was stuck with all the work!!  Everyone was allotted some of the food and everyone helped divide up the leftovers and tidy up!!
Our dinner was a little earlier than usual because our grand daughter had to work - 4 pm to close. She is a greeter/seater at Applebee's ( a chain midlevel restaurant) Since she is only 17 she cannot waitress because of the alcohol regulations. She likes her boss and coworkers and so likes her job and since she is still in school, the job is part time.

My younger daughter and her family went East to Jefferson City/ Rolla to visit her Mother-in-law . She is a nursing home and declining. We received a text this morning about how difficult the trip back was - the worst rain my daughter had ever driven in!  The weather map last night had shown a huge red area centered over St. Louis, Mo.... covering the eastern half of Missouri ! We only had light drizzle.... today it is supposed to go as high as 60 and be partly sunny! woohoo!!

We are not part of the stampede out shopping... nor one of those glued to the computer or smart phone looking for deals !  So yesterday and today are nice and quiet!!  Do have to figure how how to best use the leftovers.. !!

We had a lovely Thanksgiving too. Even though everyone brought over their delicious dishes, we did an awful lot of work and it was exhausting. Thank goodness our Friday was quiet and it was great to have left overs.

Glad not all of you were out in the rain.
