My son is coming home for a visit!

I am so happy for you. I truly understand the bond you have with your son. My Michael will be home the end of January and that is when we are having Christmas and I am already excited.
So what will the menu be? Does your son have some favorites? Apple or pumpkin pie, ham or turkey?
Corn or beans. Or all of the above.

Funny you should ask. All he wants is my stuffing. I told him it's kinda hard to do w/out the turkey. Actually, this year he wants to go out for Tday. I've always made it a practice to invite people who have no family and nowhere to go but no one seems to reciprocate. I have no family here; this is his first Tday home in 11 years and no one has ever invited me so he said "Why do all that cooking, Mom? Let's go out to a nice restaurant and you take it easy for once." I told him he'll regret that come evening and there's no left over stuffing.

Well you are welcome to come here Mary, you and your son are very very welcome.

Thanx, sweetie. I wasn't hinting, just telling you what my son said. But thank you again for the kind offer. Makes me feel good.

Well I hope you do come, what fun it would be. You can make the turkey and stuffing and I will make everything else.

My wonderful, fun neighbor has invited John and me to her house for the last few years. Multi cultural Thanksgiving, tons of people, great fun. My 40th high school reunion is the next day and one of my best childhood friends is coming from Canada to stay with me a few days and joining the gang for dinner.

All this to say...too bad you don't live closer and your son isn't staying that long. You both can stay at my house too, you'd love my buddies, and visa versa. Wouldn't that be fun? Next year??? Maybe I'll cook and invite anyone who wants to come!

Wow, that does sound like fun. I'm sure you'll remember this Tday forever. Thank you for thinking of me and my son, too. PT is fantastic.

Oh how I relate to that! My son and granddaughter would rather have the stuffing than the turkey. It's gotten so now that not only do I stuff the turkey, but make the crockpot full too! Not as good as cooked IN the turkey, but it solves the problem of never being enough!!

And how great that your son is going to be with you this year!
