As an alternative to the extensive preparation for the Thanksgiving meal, I am going to institute a new tradition for the Lackey family. It's a little thing I like to call Thankspinning.
We will all gather 'round in the living room during the halftime of the Redskins VS Cowboys game (RG3! RG3! RG3!) with laptops and iPads. I'll light a "Baking Turkey" scented candle. Alan will say a blessing. Then, we'll dig into our deli turkey sandwiches served up on lap trays.
During the half time feast, we'll all navigate to the Pinterest site on our personal computing devices, search "Thanksgiving," then start pinning what our virtual Thanksgiving meal could look like.
It'll go like this...

I've been catching up on my blogs and laughed so hard at your Thankspinning. I hope everyone got what they wanted! At least virtually.
Hey, Bridget! Thanks for your comment! Yup! We had a real deal Thanksgiving dinner complete with a hominy casserole with Hatch chilies!
Carolyn - I am home in San Benito, TX with my sister trying to help my mother take care of things since my father has very bad dementia. Anyway I was telling them about you and how you were such a great writer and your fabulous Christmas letters...well I just decided to pull up your blog and read a few to them - your thanksgiving and dreams and peeing had us all in stiches on the floor....as some of us can relate! Anyway thank you for keeping us laughing!
and thank you so much for your blog post about Its the Word. I just about cried when I saw the two rocks....can't believe you still have them! Love, BOZ
