Both Thanksgivings sound like a wonderful time! ...except for the poor dog. I'm glad he came through it without surgery.

I’m getting used to the idea that we have no obligations at Thanksgiving anymore, not having immediate family (worth seeing, anyway). It’s very freeing! We need only do what appeals to us!

I’m glad you had such a good long weekend. A shame that several people cancelled, though. I hate it when people do that.

We were just starting to discuss that last night. We will keep things small, if we do anything at all. Pretty sure we’ll put up the tree, might plan a dinner with a friend or two, and mostly just relax. I don’t think we’ll journey anywhere this year - we don’t have the money or energy. We don’t normally exchange gifts.

We’re making up for a lifetime of family drama, here!
