Happy Thanksgiving!

Just a quick post to say "Happy Thanksgiving" to everyone! I'm very thankful for finding this forum this year, becoming better GL educated, as well as making some great new friends.

We're heading to the airport in a few minutes, but I look forward to catching up with the forum from the beach in the Turks & Caicos. And, sadly, ScottyB... I don't dive.

Talk to you all soon!

Well, tell us all about it and how even though you were on the beach you missed your GL terribly!

Driving the GL to Grandma and Grandpa's house with the family will be as much fun as the Turkey itself! Happy Thanksgiving to the GL community and be safe out there!

Travel safe, Stumble, and bring back happy memories.

Our gobblefest is at our place this year but I still get to be the chauffeur carting in-laws, cousins and aunts from airport. But, hey, at least I get to drive my GL so I am thankful for that.

Enjoy you all. We are driving in our new ride, with the shiny chrome wheels, to my daughter and her husband for their first thanksgiving in their new house. They live in Oakhurst at the gateway to Yosemite. Should have some white stuff and hope to give the traction in our sure footed GL a good test.

Enjoy the ride, tm. Be on the lookout for Son-in-laws who "just" want to try the new car

Everyone have fun and drive safe in those GLs!

We're staying home for once and not having any company so it should be a nice quiet TG. Oh wait, I have a 17 mos old daughter so it won't be quiet...

Anyway, I can't cook so we're having lasagna!

Small world! One of my brothers-in-law & his girlfriend live in Oakhurst. My husband & I were up there about a month ago on our motorcycles. Beautiful area!

Safe travels to everybody!

I'm hosting Thanksgiving for the first time ever. For the past 50+ years, my Mom has hosted Thanksgiving. My Dad is 81 and not in the greatest of health and he can drive my Mom nuts, plus she gets so stressed out about having everything perfect for family gatherings, that I asked her if it would be easier on her if I hosted it this year. Without any hesitation, she said, "I think that's a great idea!". Poor Mom...I wonder if she's just been waiting for all of these years for somebody else to volunteer to host!

I've never cooked a turkey before (Chicky, I'm almost as bad as you with not being a Domestic Goddess!) so wish me luck!

We saw that place when we were there last month! We're going back up in August in the GL, so we'll be sure to eat there. Thanks!

That's like going skiing and staying in the lodge. Turks and Caicos, beautiful place. Grand Cayman 30 years ago. Beautiful beaches. Turks and Caicos Aggressor 2006

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. The pecan trees we planted several years ago are just starting to produce so Kristen will do her magic with the "Whitehouse Pecan Pie" and I will cajun fry two turkeys for the aunt, cousins, and friends.
