Interesting. I thought that was just everyday life of sitting down to dinner. Thanks.A gathering is more than one person. Gatherings are allowed if the people gathered are already in the same household. That is, people who currently live together every day.
Stopped in a Costco for my Alaskan King Crab around noon. The parking lot was full, but the check out only had 2 or 3 in each line. They had plenty of crab, the largest legs I've ever seen! Each leg weighed at least a pound. I got a little under 4 pounds. Cost was $26.99 a pound, so right at $100. It may sound a lot for two people, but we plan to really indulge since it's just the two of us. I'll steam some, have some drawn butter w/garlic for dipping.
If Thanksgiving goes well, I may spend Christmas Day on my own as well. Am still figuring that one out. I do enjoy the company of a select few, but really enjoy being alone as well. Besides, I have a cat. I am never truly on my own
I had hoped to see my 89 year old mother for Thanksgiving tomorrow --outside and masked. But she called me earlier and said one of her neighbors in the CCRC independent living has tested positive and DM has been around her so mother is now in quarantine and very depressed about it. I will still drive 1.5 hours each way to drop off a turkey dinner for DM (that I picked up earlier today from one of our favorite restaurants) and I will wave at mother through the window. An earlier poster said that this is just one Thanksgivng and that there will be other Thanksgivings but that may not be true when you are age 89 and have been exposed to Covid.
This is the quietest Thanksgiving I’ve ever had. I much prefer the large groups, conversations, and games after dinner. Hopefully that will happen next year.
I just got back from delivering a Thanksgiving meal to my 89 year old mother. Since she is in quarantine she stayed inside behind glass and I stayed outside and we talked by cellphone. She was crying and by the time it was over I was crying. At the end she said she was worried she would never be able to see me again. This was probably the worst Thanksgiving ever for me.
Eight people in attendance, four from here in Texas, and four from California (two couples arriving on separate days this week). Have already gotten together for lunch at a sit-down restaurant yesterday. High exposure for my DW and I. I didn't want any of this. DW did, so I lost. BIL and his wife will be here until next Tuesday.
To add insult to injury, BIL dropped and shattered a 36+ year-old crystal glass on our newish (year and a half) granite kitchen countertop. We hadn't lost any of our crystal glasses since the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989, and that includes packing up all of the fine crystal glasses (22) and moving them 1,700 miles to Texas from California by the moving service we hired.
Next Tuesday can't come soon enough.
I am sorry for your glass breakage. mine survived the Northridge quake and we were 4 miles from the epicenter.To add insult to injury, BIL dropped and shattered a 36+ year-old crystal glass on our newish (year and a half) granite kitchen countertop.
