  Assuming that our health stays good, we will be driving 20 minutes (~7.5 miles) to our daughter (and husband and two grandkids). One thing that may complicate that is if her husband has been out of town, he will have to isolate for two weeks.

  Friends invited me to their house for a socially distanced Thanksgiving meal. Just the couple and me sitting at a separate table. They live in my neighborhood and I can walk to their house.

  Just the two of us. The wife is very concerned about COVID, so she wants as few risks of exposure as possible. We've volunteered at charities the past few years, and I feel terrible that we will not do so this year; but I have to admit that it makes sense. TBH, I need the extended weekend.
  
  Accordingly, I bought a medium-sized duck, and I looked up some recipes on side ideas. I am very excited to be trying to make New Orleans style bread pudding for dessert.

  Don't lie. Or did your dementia help you forget that your family disowned you and won't even acknowledge your existence?

  Actually, no, I'm very happy for you. I hope your whole family attends. I hope you all gather around the table and spend a lot of time in close proximity. Because at least one of them will be spreading CoVID. LOL.

  It’s going to be different this year, as my sister is having a small immediate family dinner.
  
  I will go and get our mother from her home, and my daughter, and we are hoping for decent weather. As long as the temperatures are above 50, we can eat outdoors and be a bit distant. Luckily my sister has a large outdoor area, with a covered patio and fireplace.
  
  It’s going to be odd and painful, but necessary, as this will be the first thanksgiving since our father passed.
  
  I hope everyone can find a safe way to enjoy this thanksgiving. It’s not going to be easy, but it is important to see one another in some way.

  Wife and I alone this year. 61 years in a row I have had Thanksgiving with my extended family. The only holiday that ever mattered to us. The Government encouraging scum to riot in the streets while shutting down family plans is the enemy of the people and needs to be treated as such.

  Cincinnati Ohio to Mystic Connecticut. Will miss my ATF to two weeks.
  Maybe go to Mynx in Groton CT. I'll review if I do.

  Will wait until after Christmas. At that point I’ll know if I will be asking off or outright quitting a vanilla job and not worrying about it. I’d imagine the gas stations will be annoying to pass through anyways

  Thanksgiving is a big day in the Dugan household. We will cook a prime rib roast with homemade gravy since we just don't like turkey that much but otherwise it's pretty traditional. Everything is cooked from scratch here, so we'll be running the oven the night before and most of the next day right up until it's time to eat. Elaborate side dishes, pies (even the crust is made from scratch), cakes, and cookies will all be filling up every available space in our kitchen. Each of our three children gets to pick whatever homemade dessert she would like to have for after dinner.
  
  Needless to say we have leftovers for many days after. The leftover prime rib will become roast beef sandwiches and a wonderful beef stroganoff. Sadly there is usually very little beef gravy left after the main event as beef roasts don't throw off as much juice as a full blown turkey, but nothing's perfect, lol.

  Just me and ***.
  
  40 years married, we've had up to 18 in house for Thanksgiving before, never less than 6 or 7. Sigh.
  
  It's possible daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter might come down from Portland, but unknown for now.
