We’re a few days post-Thanksgiving and my recent memories keep going to a multiple choice quiz to describe it. Answers below:
1. Our fridge is (still) full of food, which indicates (a) I bought too much (b) we’ll have leftovers for days and days and days and days (c) nobody liked the item anyway (d) all of the above.
2. I’m happy to report that we had an enjoyable Thanksgiving, with (a) crying (b) fighting (c) pouting or (d) none of the above!
3. With two black labs in the house, it seemed like: (a) we need a bigger house (b) Lily White, age 10, has little patience with Molly White, age 1 ½. (c) I wish I had a Dyson (d) all of the above.
4. When visiting my mother for Thanksgiving Noon lunch, I wished I could have been, (a) visiting my dad too (b) been at my Mother and Father-in-law’s at Noon, seeing as one of us (me) thought dinner was at 5:00pm. Oops. (c) home tending to my own roasting turkey, which was done at 1:00, but since I forget Thanksgiving was at noon, I wouldn’t be home at 1:00, and I didn’t have time to run home to turn it off, or we’d have been even later, so I had to call my neighbors, Jill and Terry, to turn off my turkey, who, thankfully, were delayed in their own dinner, by two hours, due to traveling family arrivals. (d) See? It all works out.
5. As our thoughts turn to Christmas, (a) I’m thankful not one person reminded me at work on Friday, 11/25, what was happening just ONE MONTH FROM TODAY! (b) wished I’d shoved the Christmas tree back in the box better, so Nick could’ve taken it home to St. Louis intact (c) wished the 4th leg and base to the tree hadn’t fallen out of the box in our basement (d) all of the above.
6. When back in St. Louis, Nick and Korey tried to erect the tree and realized the 4th leg and base were missing from the box. Nick considered creating a base with (a) bucket of concrete (b) bucket of dirt (c) a late night trip to Target in pajamas, to buy a new tree, which of course, Mom will offer to buy, since she packed the current one so poorly (d) the 4th leg and base were recovered back at home (e) all of the above.
Here’s hoping you had multiple reasons to be full of good food and thankful for many blessings.
