[QUOTE="DDD, post: 613446, member: 35"] husband and I were "guests" for the first time in my almost fifty years of Thanksgiving. We drove about six hours north to where my son and family live. Guess I should note that last year I announced that I would not "do" Thanksgiving again due to health/age etc and my son (who has been married for a woman who "doesn't cook" for 25 years or so, lol) announced "Why don't we have Thanksgiving at our house?" I thought daughter in law would faint! WELL...long story short we were actually invited to come for the holiday. Neither easy child son or ? daughter in law had every cooked before. It was tasty and well done. Since I've been less than perfect the past couple of years I was pooped from the trip up, managed eight hours of being "normal" with his family before heading back to the hotel to sleep and then yesterday we headed back south. I am ridiculously "childlike" as I felt so deprived eating just a normal portion of the healthy things. I LOVE to PIG OUT. Now, of course, I am not suppose to do so. It was funny in a sick way because I had these dainty portions of the healthy and organic foods and the whole time I wanted to pile my plate high with everything and then get another piled up plate. :) Yeah, I know, the food is not the #1 thing. :wellduh:It was genuinely nice to spend time with his family. easy child GD drove me to her apartment so I could see where "she lives now" close to the campus but not on campus.
