Right now it is 5 AM on November 24, the day before Thanksgiving and the temperature is 73F and the humidity is 100%. That is not a typically morning even for Texas. The forecast high for today is 84F. Just for perspective, the average high for today is 70F. The record high is 86F so we will be close to that. How am I supposed to get in the Thanksgiving mood when I will be wearing shorts and a tee shirt? The plans are to go for a bike ride a little later. I like to wait for the sun to rise before I ride. Then breakfast and off for an eye exam. On the way home I need to stop at Baskin Robins to pick up a cake. Back home for lunch then off to run some errands including the grocery store. We are going to have a prime rib roast tomorrow rather than turkey. I know it is not tradition but it works for us.
My son and his girlfriend will be joining us tomorrow along with a good friend. So we will have a rather small get together but I am sure it will still be very nice. It will be bitter sweet as last Thanksgiving was the last time I saw my Mom. She died earlier this year. I think everyone is expecting me to have an emotional melt down. In one way it will be sad but I will have family and friends for support. Also Mom would want us to celebrate the day and be thankful.
I am not a black Friday shopper so the next day I plan to avoid all stores. One of the routes I sometimes ride my bike goes right past the major shopping mall in the area so I will avoid it too. I have been working hard to finish a project at work. I got it done yesterday so now I can enjoy the next 5 days off.
If you will be traveling today to visit family, friends or just get away, I pray you have a safe journey. Godspeed.
