Should tell her we will bring the food and go to their house so we can all spread out and not trip over each other even if I do manage to get all my sewing out of the dining room. She can’t help me pick up because she is flying in about an hour before dinner.
That's a good idea! If they really cared about gathering at Thanksgiving, maybe they should have hosted their own dinner, and invited others they know who won't be with family for Thanksgiving. If you are not up to extra guests, you should just tell Kelly the truth. Her friends will be ok. You have been through a LOT.
