Our children and any significant friends used to come over, my wife and I would prepare a smoked turkey breast, she like to buy it pre-smoked, they kids like me to do it. Lots to eat; sit around visit, slip off to another room maybe watch a little football if there is an interesting game on. I became tired of the Lions losing but crippling their opponents star years ago. If the weather is nice maybe slip off and fish a little.

This year my daughter is traveling to Dayton, OH to spend the holiday with her brother who is working on his PhD at Miam U. of Ohio. So it will be Mom and me and the cats. Less of the same food.
