THANKSGIVING SIMPLICITY

For the past few years, Thanksgiving has always included a full house. Sometimes the house has been ours and sometimes it has been someone else's. But it has always been full, usually more than 20 guests.

This year nobody, including us, seemed to have the energy to host a big turkey bash at their house. So, we kept it simple. Debra, Ashley and I picked up Dee, Debra's mom, and the four of us went out to eat at Hometown Buffet.
