Thanksgiving 2020

Thursday, November 26, 2020

Thanksgiving was scaled back this year due to the pandemic. We often head out to visit Pete & family for the holiday but that was not to be this year. When we've been in town for the holiday over the last few years we've gone out to eat. Also, due to the fact Covid-19 cases are surging again we decided not to have Mom over. We did, however, run a care package to her after we finished our dinner today. 

The day melted away seemingly quite quickly due food prep here and there throughout. There was time in between for the scaled back Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. . .

...and a Bloody Mary. . .



...and the coloring of the turkey in the Star Tribune. 

We ate at 3:15. Dinner was awesome and we watched a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. 

After we ate we got Athena taken care of and then ran a care package over to Mom. She met us at the entry to her building with her mask on and seemed pretty excited to be getting delivery on Thanksgiving. She texted me that she was impressed with the amount of food. She also texted how delicious she though it was. Pictured above are Mom and I during a pre-pandemic Thanksgiving. I believe the photo was taken at Jax in 2015.

Thanksgiving 2014 - Turkey Coloring Contest


Thanksgiving 2014 - Turkey Coloring Contest

The following is from Dale's blog:

"Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday. To me it’s about spending time with people you love, cooking, eating, playing outside when it’s cold then coming inside where it’s toasty and warm, having a drink and eating something hearty that radiates warmth through your entire body and soul. This holiday did not disappoint. 
In addition, watching Joe and his traditions and the things he likes are as much fun as my own. Since he’s been a kid, he has waited for the Thanksgiving Day Minneapolis Star Tribune to come so he can color in the “Oh You Turkey” turkey on page one of the Variety section. Now he’s pushing 49 years old and he still colors this turkey in every year. I should send it in to see if he might win his age category."

Thanksgiving 2014 - Oh, You Turkey

Worked on the Oh, You Turkey coloring contest in the Strib this morning. Of course I'm not going to enter it. It would win first prize and I want to give the kids out there a chance. LOL!

Thanksgiving 2011 - Turkey Coloring Contest




This turkey, or a least a version of it, has appeared in the Star Tribune for at least 35 years. I think I did a pretty good job coloring it this year.
