Thankful that this Thanksgiving was so stress free. My nephew chose the venue: Old Country Buffet. The food wasn't great, as cuisine selected by an 11-year-old seldom is, but it was customized to each of us -- for example, I had fried chicken instead of turkey. I was happy to see my niece and nephew, and on the way out, my sister said she was thankful that I love her children so. And I do.I'm also grateful that the get-together was so short. Four hours, start to finish. My family gets along best in short spurts like this. Now I'm happy to be home, in my pajamas, sipping brandy, catching the last episode of the Law & Order marathon.
I used to love Old Country Buffet. Somewhere along the way, they went downhill. Their food and the atmosphere was great. Not anymore.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your quiet time.
I know what you mean about short spurts of family fun-time. I feel that way about my sister. Unfortunately, she doesn't recognize my relationships with her children.
