Loved Tropit's post about her daughter's Thanksgiving!
Much easier to criticize before actually trying to do it oneself!
My daughter and daughter-in-law have taken over hosting for the holidays. Thank you girls!
We do bring stuff.
I brought stuffing, cookies (mostly for #3 son), and made the gravy. I usually make good gravy. Dinner was "supposed" to be oneish - I think it was closer to two-thirtyish. Glad I nibbled something before leaving home!
It was good - she had the table set beautifullly. Still got compliments on her tablecloth - A long length of 54 inch wide cotton that was hemmed on the ends! It has so much pattern, that it does not show if it has been ironed or not. After she mentioned that she just washes it and folds it - I did have to look - a little bit rumpled but I had to look very closely to tell.
Both girls have been doing this for over 15 years now - there are still a few glitches, but nothing major.
And I am so Thankful to them for doing this.
We are all still learning shortcuts and different ways of doing things. Some things are more successful than others!
