Just a quick note to say that Plan B worked and we had a wonderful day yesterday eating ham instead of turkey. The girls and I played card games while my mom watched, Bill had his football games and unfortunately our son had to work but made it home in time for dessert and the family photo.
My eyes are open exceptionally wide because the kids just reminded me to open them since usually they end up being closed when the picture is snapped. The lighting is terrible but we are all there! It’s the only picture I took from the day, preferring to enjoy making the memories rather than photograph them.
The prompt today from the Ultimate Blog Challenge was to discuss something controversial. Have to say that right now voting rights are foremost on my list. In my opinion we need to pass those new voting acts so that we don’t end up being an autocracy. I cannot imagine a world where the likes of DT and his cronies are allowed to rule the United States. I cannot believe the “Republicans” are so spineless.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and now I’m going to get my stuff ready for the boutique tomorrow. Wish me luck. Maybe I’ll find my ring.

Yes, it was quite nice actually, except for the part where my son had to work all day. Hopefully he won’t have to work Christmas.

Funnily enough he works in a casino around the corner from our house. He was able to walk home on his lunch break to say hello just in case my mom had to leave before he got off. Guess there are some people who like to gamble on the holidays – LOL

I think I like your plan B better. First of all:
Ham vs turkey? Win.
Less fuss in the kitchen? Win.
More time to spend with family? Win.
Great timing for your son, too: Dessert (what did you make without the oven?) and family pictures.

Well, I prefer turkey to ham but it did turn out quite good I must say. We had picked up some decadent chocolate parfaits at Costco and had them for dessert. Yummy!
