A Change of Scenery
Typically, Thanksgiving for me meant Randy going to Virginia and me going to the Cape to visit my parents. Although Randy is still ditching the land of the “real” Thanksgiving for Virginia, my plans have changed.
My mom suggested we drive out towards my brothers place (Easthampton, MA) and eat out this year. She didn’t feel like cooking (not that our Thanksgivings were huge to begin with : boxed potatoes, boxed stuffing, canned cranberry sauce, frozen vegetables…at least the turkey was fresh).
They are coming up tomorrow night (Randy leaves in the morning) and will stay with me through Friday. On Thanksgiving, my brother has made us a reservation at a “mountain-top” restaurant out near him (being just east of the Berkshires, I’d suspect it’s more of a big hill) so we will drive out that way for the afternoon.
It will actually be nice to spend Thanksgiving with my brother and his family because he’s traditionally spent that holiday with his wife’s side of the family.
So, in case I don’t update my blog before the big day, have a great Thanksgiving everybody. And don’t forget that the day after Thanksgiving officially means you can start playing Christmas music. WOO HOO (although, I’ve already started myself)!

I hope you and Randy have a GREAT THANKSGIVING!! I too have already started to play Christmas music though I’m sure you beat me on when you started. 🙂
I’m a huge proponent of mixing it up for Thanksgiving. That being said it’s off to Mom and Dad’s in Plymouth………..again.
Happy Thanksgiving.
OK you & Randy def look like brothers in that pic! Happy Thanksgiving!
We are celebrating Thanksgiving today (Al is on duty tomorrow) and since I have to work til 3pm, I don’t have to do any of the cooking…so lucky. Well, Happy Thanksgiving and say ‘hi’ to everyone for you. Love ya.
