We were planning to have a small meal, since my wife has been bed or recliner ridden since July 2, but our #2 son had different plans. He wanted to have a traditional dinner with up "like we used to have", so he has been here every afternoon all this week baking for not only us, but also pies for his wife's family Thanksgiving that was also today. So today's feast had everything that we always had when he was growing up. Of course turkey and stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, fruit salad, nuts, cranberries, and 4 kinds of pies made with 2X as many so half of them could go to his wife's side of the family. I helpedhim where I could, but for the last 3 days. I have also been sent out to gather the needed supplies for this, and to go get last minute things that we had forgotten. He pulled it off. Everything tasted fine.
My #1 son's family couldn't be here today. They will be here tomorrow, so two turkey breasts were cooked today, one for today and one for tomorrow and everything else was doubled up too, so there is plenty of everything still here for tomorrow, but I ate so much today that I don't want to even look at food and don't think I'll be hungry tomorrow either. #3 son lives with us, but is nearly wheelchair bound. He helped where he could too, and then also ate more than he should have.
