stgulikThis is what I love about holidays now: Every year, I have the freedom and the imagination to reinvent them, make them suit me as I am now.
Thanksgiving was a quiet affair: just the three of us and my FIL, happy to be liberated from his senior living facility for the day. He watched football and drank too much. (Actually, we gave him nonalcoholic wine except at dinner, and he was none the wiser.) We started a jigsaw puzzle and pulled in dining room chairs. My living room is still stuffed with chairs.
Saturday we went to my mother's, met my brother's new GF and ate leftovers. Sunday some of Groom's family dropped by to watch more football and eat and help with the puzzle.
What with all the traveling and lounging around (and eating), it took us two days to finish washing the Thanksgiving dishes. I couldn't be happier.
Hey, look what I just dug out! (And look who just took it over as His Own.)

teddyradiator and I were talking about quiltmaking, and I remembered this work in progress. It's either an overlarge lap quilt or a small twin size. It's a color scheme I abandoned years ago. Still, I really ought to finish it - it's so close. Maybe during Christmas vacation. Really, all that's left is the binding, which could be done either by hand or machine.
