Thanksgiving Day this year was rainy, cold and windy. Our son James was up at 6 a.m. so he wouldn't miss the Macy's Parade at 9 a.m.! Of course he wanted breakfast as soon as he got up so it has made for a long day. I don't think he has ever missed watching Macy's parade. This year I watched much of it with him. I don't know any of the current singing groups or understand the music, etc. I did recognize Dolly Parton on one of the floats, singing one of her new songs. I always enjoy stories about how the school bands get to New York, their honors, etc. It was good to see the Va Tech band there this year. They had nice weather for the parade this year.
I went to my cousin's out in the country for Thanksgiving and brought back some food to Jim and James. There was so much food on the long tables in the barn; ham, turkey, pork barbecue, rice, camp stew, hash, dumplings, dressing, assorted veggies, lots of salads, and a big variety of desserts. Somebody made a hot chocolate cake/pudding in the crock pot and it was absolutely delicious. I haven't wanted anything else to eat all day!I came home and watched TV most of the afternoon, which I almost never do. It was a nice lazy day today. I have so much to be thankful for, especially for a wonderful family. Many relatives called us today, including our sons in SC and TX.
