First time I'm not able to return to my family for Thanksgiving (just started a new job with an odd schedule). So my parents are coming down to have a nice big dinner with me and my gf's family, should be a good time! It's going to be kind of weird being away from home though, I've spent the last 24 at the place I grew up.

In summary - good food, good wine, good company

After my Mom's health problems back in January, she is now in Assisted Living. It will be the first year since my wife and I married 38 years ago, that my Mom will not be making thanksgiving Dinner. My wife is going to cook at my Mom's house and we will bring her home for Thanksgiving Dinner.

The whole fam damily should be there.

Turkey Day is Sunday for us.

I have 2 shows to mix on Thanksgiving (2am and 2pm...gotta love Asian shows).
Shows on Friday and Saturday nights too....

Think I will be deep frying the bird again this year.

So Thanksgiving will be a quiet day in which I brush paint the trailer I'm taking out west, and clean the kitchen.

Forgot to mention: It's my birthday! Every 11 years Thanksgiving falls on my b'day.

FIL will be transporting a Turkey and sundry other foodstuffs up to us from Tucson. Just the four of us and him for the feast. MIL and others will show up at xmas.

Hopefully he'll bring some guns along too and we can get some shooting in...

For the first time in forever, exactly NONE of my relatives or inlaws are showing up. The kids will be home. The girls are bringing new beaus that I'll be able to goof on ("he's real gentle, more like a puppy than a horse, wanta ride him?"), those girls are always saying I scare their boyfriends off. Nonsense. We've invited a couple of close friends. Easy and peaceful.
Up to Flagstaff Sunday for a Bela Flek with The Marcus Roberts Trio concert. I've been a Bela Flek fan for many years but as I am a barn spoilt nag and don't get out much, have never seen him. Looking forward to it.

I bought a frozen baking hen to cook on my Traeger Junior Grill (BBQ055) | Traeger Wood Pellet Grills since it was going to be just my youngest daughter and I.

However, plans have changed. My brother and my nephew are visiting and my oldest daughter is joining us; so 5 for Thanksgiving meal at noon. My brother suggested we go out, so it is.

I'm hoping to get an artificial Christmas tree purchased today and start setting it up tomorrow.

Virgin attempt at smokin a turkey in my Kamodo acorn smoker/grill.
(I won at a grocery store drawing)
So far, I smoked large chickens and breasts etc.... I love this thing! Hardwood charcoal Heat is easy to control; just like an oven and the charcoal lasts for hours. ...
>Tip: I start the charcoal with a small piece of cotton cloth soaked with vegetable oil in a space under the charcoal. (You tube shows various ways)
This Works fantastic and no lighter fluid taste.<

This year, My Beautiful Wife, Myself ....and 2.1 children
...... for several years we had like 20 people over with requisite Political yelling/arguing, fists flying, food flying out of mouths, kids & women crying, dogs barking......ahhhh yes! Thanksgiving time with relatives!

You know, I'm half tempted to go participate in the First Annual Black Thursday Night BONANZA Cattle Stampede. Never done a Black Friday before. Wouldn't even have to get up early.
I'll betcha there will be some crazy sheet happenin' down at the local WalMart.

Of course, I may fall asleep after Turkey dinner at the g/f's house.
