If I could write this story like Marilyn you really would laugh with me....now you can laugh AT me!!! smileys/smile.gif
A good friend of ours has us every year but it's a long drive out of town. The few left in our family either work or go out of town to their in-laws. Last Thanksgiving our friend was getting ready to go on a 6 mo. trip to Alaska and told me to make sure we back again this year.
nothing was said the rest of the year and I had in my mind that Thanksgiving is always the last week in November. With me being over half a century old you'd think I'd know by know it's the last Thursday the last whole week in November.
November arrives and I told my friend I'd rather stay home with just the 2 of us this year and not have the long drive....for them to come here Christmas to share their travel pictures and birthdays, etc.
Thinking that Thanksgiving is next week, I went to the store Monday with a proud smile on my face that I was going to get my shopping done early so I wouldn't have to face the mad rush. I was disappointed that there were already a lot of people at the store rushing around as though it were Thanksgiving already!
I didn't find out til late yesterday afternoon that Thanksgiving is tomorrow. smileys/smile.gif No calendar I have had Thanksgiving printed on it for some reason....can I blame the calendar?
So today I'm trying to make some kind of dinner that would resemble in some small way a Thanksgiving dinner that most of us identify with.
I decided on the Roasted Turkey Breast with Spiced Cranberry Glaze. I just came from the kitchen and I will have a Turkey Breast with Spiced Cranberry Infusion....smileys/smile.gif I forgot to cook it after I blended it...I put it in a vacuum seal bag so it definitely will be infused.
My husband retired 3 mos ago and has commented it's hard to keep the days straight...I told him last night it's hard for me to remember when the holidays are! smileys/smile.gif
