Harsh dose of reality today. Went to put on some dress pants, found out i'm getting a bit chubby. After tucking in a shirt i will be limited to small portions or risk blowing a button off. Sucks getting old.
Dinner is being served Chez Jennifer (actually, chez la maison de mon frère). It's my nephew's first Thanksgiving, my brother and his wife are expecting again, so much to be thankful for and so many people for whom to be thankful.
Wishing you all a happy and loving Christmas season.
Took a thanksgiving feast over to my aunt and uncles (living in a retirement facility 92 and 90 years old)He talked about his time in WW2 a little for the first time.Interesting stories

The YL made venison meatloaf and it is the best meatloaf I have ever had. Politics came up. I told her what my parents said about the election. "What's wrong all these people protesting? You know we don't involved much but, we all put out Trump signs this year. Hillary is a nasty woman."
We had Thanksgiving at our house this year. All the other years they were held at my in-laws' house. So, it looks like I get to take the mantle now. My mother-in-law expressed her relief. "I didn't have to clean the house, do all the heavy lifting (for the turkey), have all the responsibility. I'm 70 now, and it's getting harder to put on these big meals."
When we said grace, my 7 year old son started. "Thank you God for all this food. Please help Grandma and Grandpa get home safely. Thank you, Turkey, for giving your life so that we can have turkey on our Thanksgiving."
