• thanksgiving plans

    From Blue White@21:4/134 to all on Sat Nov 21 09:59:40 2020
    This was originally in response to something else but now that I am caught
    up reading the mail from the past 24-36 hours I think I need to switch it up
    a bit.

    I personally know of two people whose lives have been affected by COVID.
    One lost her father after he was exposed at a family outing/outdoor sporting event (other family had it but didn't know it), and one that is my age
    (50'ish) who was in hospital for at least two weeks, had no co-morbid conditions, and who is home but now on O2.

    Some in my extended family wanted to get together for Thanksgiving but, as
    I am going into the office some now, I didn't think it was a good idea to
    be visiting my 77 y/o father, his wife, or my mother right now. None of my sisters wanted to, either, so we are skipping in hopes that maybe we can celebrate Christmas this year. I have my doubts, though.

    So I have bought a couple of frozen turkey dinners (so I can have seconds!)
    and plan to spend a quiet extended weekend alone. If the weather is nice
    maybe I can get out some in a socially distanced manner.

    ... Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?

    For the last few years while Andrea has been back in school we've had our
    thanksgiving around the US time. This year I'm doing a turkey dinner with
    all the fixins. Just for the three of us who live in the apartment. No kids
    or grandkids or parents etc. I work with the animals and my parents are
    late 70's.

    So I have bought a couple of frozen turkey dinners (so I can have

    We'll have seconds, thirds, and frozen turkey for a while to come. ;)

    Indeed. I was thinking that maybe I should have bought more than two. :)
