SBG, I will be praying for your family. I am glad that your daughter is politically interested but putting politics before the joy of family is difficult to understand and it hurts. It hurts more than our feelings it damages everyone who would be at the table.
My Thanksgiving plans are still unsettled. I was invited to my nephews home for the BIG friendly family feast that is fun, rich in food and traditions and just glorious. I would go there in a hot minute, but.............my daughter never makes plans until the last moment and I don't want to cause a family rift over where I eat turkey and pie. This happens every year and without fail she will ask me for dinner like it is a big burden for her to celebrate the holiday with her mother. (I will cease whining now.) I can't host because of space and my cat. My son-in-law and one grandson are allergic to kitty and are too miserable to stay and enjoy a meal.
At the very least I will dash to my nephew's for dessert and the family after dinner chatter. I may just have to initiate the conversation with my daughter.
It is a dark and stormy night here with 40 degree temps and rain. Burrrrrr!
