Hi All;

Just got back from 4 days in So. California.  It was warm on Thursday, so my daughter served Thanksgiving dinner outside in the warm sunshine.  I had a great time for two days with the grandkids.  Then I went on to see in my brother and his family for a day.  Its a five hour drive home from So California.

I missed my son's call on Thursday, but I did get a quick call in during the evening.  This 17 hour time difference is taking some getting used too!

HI

got a call from Sailor. He was invited to have dinner at his chief's home.

Also, dil does have gestational diabetes. So hubby and I went out grocery shopping for items just for her to eat. We did tell her we would go on this diet with her.

We did do one crazy thing. Teh kids were out, so hat gave us the chance to go and purchase that Elf on the Shelf. We put it up in the living room with a reindeer I had. I then placed the story book in the kitchen cabinet for the kids to find. Son found it first and told me how sweet to get the book for the baby's library. I just looked at him and said:"well, maybe Santa thinks that two BIGGER kids need watching". Son said:" you meant there is one of those elfs around here?" I told him to drink some coffee so his brain would wake up. DIl is not up yet, so waiting or her reaction.

Hey - Kim - baby yet?

Today , hubby and i will attempt another try at clearing our stuff from the garage. Not much left to, but I want it on my helves so I can start sorting though them. Some stuff I have not seen for 4 years. Treasure hunt for me

Need to  get hugs all

My husband will be home tomorrow, so I will make a turkey meatloaf.  I didn't think he would be here, so I did not thaw the turkey. 

I spent a lot of Thanksgivings in Japan.  We hosted when we could, or went to the homes of our friends.  It is very unusual for anyone to be alone unless they have duty, or choose to ignore the holiday.  Even f they have duty, they can go get a meal at the chow hall.  

The bases put on all sorts of holiday activities, for families, and for single sailors.  It was great, actually.  Yokosuka does a really nice Festival of Trees.  My husband was active with the local Webelos troop on base, and they did a nice tree for that.

HI

I can remember my sailor sharing that he was invited to his chief's home for holidays. ( My on stayed in the barracks his entire time in Japan). And once visiting Hong Kong - an American teacher invited several of the sailors for dinner. I agree it makes you feel good to know your sailor is being treated special when you can't.

Oh packing those boxes. We have had many fun talks about what to put in those boxes. And how to pack them FULL ! Maggs always said to pack extra so your sailor can share. She is right.

Talking about Mas - check in . You too BADma. Several of you have been quiet - jump in the water - we miss you

Well - Blondie. That's all I can say. I finally have decided to write the Energizer people and tell them about you. You are a shoe in for the new icon of the Energizer Battery. Just don't do a Flo haircut.  Glad daughter is with Joe and I like teh shirt in light blue.

I must have missed some post, so I need to go back and find them.

Tonight is turkey dinner with kids. They are going into the Chicago burbs for dinner with her family tomorrow. So hubby and I will be alone - just the two of us. Well - 1 turtle - 1 puppy and 3 cats -  alone.

Hey - yippe a sailor coming home. Now you still have to stay here and share gossip.

Need to get along - hubby home soon and I can smell the turkey !!!

Wishing all a wonderful day tomorrow hugs

Hi Ladies!  Well, we finally were able to get out of the driveway on Monday!  Did all my catch up food shopping and thanksgiving shopping-we are ready to start baking!
I am pretty sore from shoveling, reinjured elbow, fell and sprained ankle, but not so bad I can't walk on it, so we're good. We had warmer temps so much of the snow melted, not much flooding, thank goodness, and nothing major weather wise coming anytime soon. 

T-lynn, we have, I think 3 districts closed til Dec 1, rest have re-opened. Blake took one look at the snow falling, opened his mouth and started catching it, haha.
Babies have their own time schedule......doctors don't seem to know this.

MamaC- he will grow, you will learn patience.  Holidays are the hardest, try to stay positive, check in here, it helps more that anything....hang in there, hugs.

Joshmom, I am So dreading that 10 lbs.-hoping to keep within 5 thru this holiday season. Been working at it so hard and hate to lose ground, but dammit, why do all the goodies have to taste sooooo good?

ReneeC-yes, confusing til you get the hang of it. P.O. helped me too, felt pretty clueless at first.  As for the weight-I always left that blank and let them weigh it & fill it in for me.

Cheryl-great advice. I know it makes me feel better to know what is going on.

2tymemom-I was so happy when my sailor spent holidays with his CO or others when he was in Japan. Really makes you feel better knowing they are not alone.

Navymom3- Happy Birthday to your sailor-how exciting to soon have him only 3 hours away!

Blondie, did your doctors have to tie you down? lol. 
Enjoy the time off this weekend:)

Hope eveyone hears from their sailors & has safe travels if traveling!

Navymom3--You taught your sailors right, to share with others.  My son has not been home for Thanksgiving since he entered the navy.  He has hosted others sailors when he was in port, and cooked his first turkey a couple of years ago.  Enjoy having yours in the same country.

Both my sailors are hosting a Thanksgiving at there house. One in Japan and one in California. Both are having sailors over that have no where to go. I am so proud of them. This will be the last Thanksgiving for my Japan sailor to be in Japan. Plus it is his birthday the same day. I am sure he will give away leftovers as they are coming to pack his apt on the 1st. So not much linger and he will only be a 3 hr time difference.

Good Morning mtnmom,

My son and I use the "Line" app, but thank you for the heads up on the Tango app.  I will look into it. 

Also, thank you for the great idea of trail mix parts.  We also keep a box that we perodically add stuff to and then mail.

My son has volunteered to make apple pies, from scratch, crust and all and will be going with others to his CO's house for Thanksgiving.  It warms my heart to know that he will be with family for the holiday.

Take care all,
