Thank you! I will be alone and probably make a batch of spiced butter for hot buttered rum to enjoy and put the rest away in the freezer. Last Turkey Day and Christmas was my last with my Mama and she actually was lucid for that season period...I sorta knew inside it might be her last and it was. Just depressing, really. Never had children, so... never really bought into the whole commercial aspects of holidays anyway and most of my life I worked them so my coworkers with families could take them off. At least while I was in Afghanistan I could wander over to the DFAC (dining facility) and there would be traditional food and decorations with lots of goodies. Would love to stop by for a visit and love seafood - I just made a batch of seafood gumbo 3 days ago! Tried to give a bowl of it to my UPS delivery guy but he can't eat crab (I would have left it out had I known!)  Oh well, 1 more to eat leftover and 3 servings in the freezer. Hard to cook for 1.

Oh, I just posted a picture of a card on Motts wall - I received one today in the mail from a cousin in Florida - another cat lover like me (but I don't have one right now :-(  ).  Too funny!

Have an awesome Holiday and enjoy the recuperative rest while you can :-)
