I am also excited as I saw a news clip in the paper today wanting people to invite military people for the holidays.  YEA!  I was like me me me!!!   I'm not sure how many we will invite.  I did talk to the man in charge.  He is blown over by Texas hospitality.  He said one lady said she could do 35!!!!  That they usually have 40 or so family and could do 35 extra.  I can relate!   I don't think I would do that many, but I may tell him up to 10.  I won't even have to toss another 'tater in the pot for that many.  

I was feeling kind of sad because several people that usually come have other places they need to go this year.  I do understand, just feel sad as this is my favorite time to cook.   Maybe I need to invent my own holiday and have a party then.  

I use to worry that my 21 yo would show up with a deer Thanksgiving morning.  He always went hunting, but God was good and he never got one that day.    This year he and his family won't be here.  Guess I get to eat his cherry pie!  Most years we do have to take time off to go help a goat or sheep have babies, or round up escaped critters where a gate got left open.   It won't be Thanksgiving as usual for these service men and women.  Life in the country!
