Will remember to never say “Don’t go to the trouble of making macaroni and cheese from scratch, only the kids will eat it.”

I will not remember to make the sausage balls ahead of time, like I always say I’m going to do…

I hope you don’t mind but I linked to this post. I finally got my turkey incident documented!

Here’s the link – terribly funny, although smashed hot turkey on the floor looks sort of disgusting!

We, too, were in Texas for Thanksgiving. We flew to San Antonio to visit some dear friends who moved away last June.

I will remember watching my kids having so much fun playing with their best friends who moved away. I will also remember the hugs and tears between 3 boys and 1 little girl – ages 9, 9, 8, and 6 – as they had to say goodbye. (sorry I broke the rules and told 2 things – but that’s just how I am)

I will not remember the uncomfortable hotel beds hubby and I slept in while our kids enjoyed sleepover after sleepover with their friends.

I will never forget the “turkey incident”, in which my friend decided to help her hubby out by basting the bird for him, as he was outside dealing with plumbers and an emergency – broken water pipe in the guest house (where we were staying!). She opened the oven and pulled the pan out a little ways to reach the whole bird, and it literally FLEW out on top of her and continued on to the floor! One of the legs broke off and all the yummy juices splattered on everything within a 6-foot radius. I heard the crash and screaming and I went in and found her doubled over, gasping and covering her mouth. Of course two seconds later we were laughing hysterically and taking pictures of it for the blog! And when her hubby came in and saw it, he immediately made himself a double martini and went back outside, so that made us laugh even harder.

I will not remember that it was the weekend of Tiger Woods and the White House crashers.

I’ll remember that I left the turkey sitting in the cold water bath too long. The turkey was thawed and the water was warm. I ran to the grocery store to get a fresh turkey, but could not bring myself to spend $52.00 for a fresh one. My dear husband got up every hour to change the water on the new frozen turkey I bought instead. I will remember that the Broncos won the game!
I won’t remember that I forgot to take one of the desserts out of the frig. for lunch. We were so thrilled to find it for supper!

I will remember two of my three year old grandchildren play ball with their Dads and Poppa. I won’t remember, well I don’t know, it was a good day all around.

I will forever & ever remember Thanksgiving Day 2009 as the day God brought my husband SAFELY HOME from a year-long deployment to Iraq!!!

I will very likely forget everything else in the whole wide world.

I loved the way you did this, so I wrote a few things on my blog to remember the moments as well. But a few that I will remember:

–Brennan’s smile on Thanksgiving morning
–time of sharing as a family
–the way my hubby’s sister made us all feel so welcomed

not remembering:
–my bad attitude the night after Thanksgiving in the city

It was a great Thanksgiving!

I will remember watching my husband spend 2 hours on the floor with the boys playing Lego wars.

I will not remember the cranberry relish dish that I left on the counter at home (you’re not alone).

I will remember that it was my newest grandson Isaiah’s first Thanksgiving in America with his new family, just two weeks after arriving HOME from Uganda.

I wont remember that I regretted bringing store-bought pies, rather than homemade ones, because of my yucky work schedule.
