Paintingnut,
Where did you get the pattern for the dinosaur shaped duffle bag? That is something my son would love....!
Our TG was okay. Quiet...... honestly it was much better when dad went home. I was hoping he would start feeling better but no he isn't. It is his desison ...... to keep doing the things he did for mom, to try to make her happy or live his life for himself. He needs to let go.
Dad did make the turkey and three kinds of pudding....! I don't know what he did to the turkey but...... we have had better. He used a roasting bag inside mom's big electric roaster. With water. I think he steamed it. Hint, don't steam turkey.
My inlaws stopped by....

I am laughing at them..... FIL is falling apart because this friend of mine who has one small cancer in her lung.... went to school with him. He already has her dead and buried and is grieving.

Then we had all the 'hints' about the
family dinner on Sunday. Dh has already explained..... no safe food, no safe place to eat...we will not be there. This year dh was VERY blunt to them. Can lightening please hit them on the head and jump start their brains??? If dks hadn't been in the room, I would have bluntly told them that my dd life is worth far more than a family dinner when family refuses to care about safe food for her. I will NOT do something stupid and kill my dd to make them happy. Just for a family dinner? They aren't worth it. I don't think people who are control freaks (FIL and my dad) are ever happy.
We have watched sooo many movies today..... my eyeballs are ready to fall out!
