Thankful 2021

"Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city."  George Burns

 About this quote. I really don't mean it. It just made me laugh.

This year, for the first time since 2018, Corb and I hosted the family Thanksgiving. We have an agreement with my brother Tommy to alternate years, and last year was kind of a pass, what with the pandemic and all, but the year before that, my brother hosted the world's worst Thanksgiving, so after a three year gap, it was back to us. Thank God.

It was kind of a guest list mess. At first, we expected it was going to be my family and Corb's, but then Corb's aunt and uncle dropped out as their kids refuse to get vaccinated (and we won't let them come over until they do) and then his brother and family decided to have their own, and then my brother and his family decided they wanted to do it on their own, but then a day later had second thoughts and decided to come after all and bring a friend, and then Corb's mom wasn't sure about Jim, but then he decided he was going and they brought Corb's OTHER aunt Carol, and then Ashes and I had a mini-fight and she was't going, but that got resolved...and...

Phew. I'm tired just typing all that.
