Thanksgiving Day in Menifee went by pretty smooth and uneventful for my wife and I. We had her mother visit us for a few days.

My wife went all out, roasting a turkey, putting on the full Thanksgiving Day spread, complete with brand new silverware, and pulled out the high-priced crystal for drinks and plates. She put out all kinds of appetizers, which had already filled me up. Prior to that, she had baked a pumpkin cheesecake pie.

After we ate, she ran four loads of dishes in the dishwasher, carved up the rest of the turkey and put it in the refigerator, and put all the other leftovers away too.

If this all sounds par for the course, consider that she has kidney failure, has hemodialysis three times per week, had her thyroid removed, and doesn't normally have a lot of energy. She hasn't put on a spread like this for years, probably over a decade. I was really proud of her.

Since my wife and I don't have kids, and much of our family lives out of state, we're used to having a "traditional Thanksgiving" by sharing it with Native Americans. That is, we go to the indian casino and eat at the buffet!
