What are you doing for thanksgiving??

[Wingnut]

OK, I know that it's still a week away but I was wondering what you all are doing for Thanksgiving? This year my hubby will be home from the road so I'm making a huge dinner with all the trimmings. Ive invited several elderly people from our church & community ,who are alone with no place to go, to our home for dinner. Hubby will go pick up the ones who don't/can't drive. I look at it like this: it's hard enough being alone but it's even harder during a holiday. If any of you find yourself in our area, you're more than welcome to come join us. There will be plenty of food, fellowship, and room. Just PM me & I'll give you directions.

This year I will be home. Last year I was on the road with no thanks for doing it. Drivers are better off going home for the hoildays. Being on the road away from your family during the hoilidays can be upsetting to your family.

Jeez, Wingnut, if it's further than tomorrow, I don't have a clue!
I'd like to spend it at my daughter's in Fla, as both my girls will be there, but so far, it's just wishful thinking. I made it home for Thanksgiving last year, then spent Christmas on the road, so anything is possible. (Which may be what I love most about driving, lol)

We are going to spend thanksgiving at my wifes mothers and here three borthers and there familes. We switch christmas and thanksgiving each year with her family and my family. This is one thing we enjoy aboutd this job is we can pick whar we take our home time. The wife gets to see her family a lot more than if we had our old jobs.

We will be in service, available and hopefully under load. We will also be giving thanks for the life and work we so enjoy.

We are at home, forced to be till the end of the year. Long repairs hurt. We were out the last two Thanksgivings and sat the entire weekend both years so we might not be missing much. Hard to say. Layoutshooter

I will be doing my usual serving Dinner to the Vets at the Soilders&Sailors Home In Erie PA. This is Something my Motorcycle Group Started doing about 10 years ago and its Still the Greatest Feeling on Earth.

All 3 of our sons will be coming in and we haven't seen the middle one for almost 2 years so we will be home come **** or high water.
We took a load the day after Christmas last year then got stuck in Maine for 4 days ..so not sure what we'll do this year.

We will be in San Antonio,TX attending our youngest graduation from boot camp. He enlisted in the Air Force and hopes to make it his carreer. The graduation will be a three day event starting the day before Thanksgiving and continuing the day after Thanksgiving. The graduates will have Thanksgiving day off to spent with family and friends. I can't think of a more wonderful way to spend our Thanksgiving!

We are so proud of his choice to serve this wonderful nation of ours and feel it is important to put our work aside and be there as our show of support for him and his comrades!

Heres a big salute from us, son!!!

 

[fastman_1]

And give your son a Big Thanks from me!!

 

[layoutshooter]

Thank him for me as well!! Layoutshooter

We will be home for Thanksgiving and this will be the first year in many years we have not had to travel somewhere else. This Thanksgiving and Christmas will be very odd for us and our first year to not have our youngest daughter with the family. She is also in the Air Force and stationed in Baghdad and will not be home till April.

One conciliation to this is the fact that for every holiday she has been deployed she has been treated very very well.

 

[Streakn1]

TeamCaffee,

Kudos to your youngest daughter in Bagdad. Godspeed her safe return soon to her home and family she has left behind. Our prayers go out to all that are away from home serving to protect our country. Also, thanks to those like Wingnut that are willing to take those less fortunate in to celebrate the holidays. So many spend these times alone, especially the elderly!

 

[TeamCaffee]

Well I will admit we are really proud of her and she loves her job. She will become a Captain in January, she is a civil engineer and is a member of Red Horse. She is also wanting to retire from the military and as far as she is concerned she is having the time of her life. I am including a picture of her after she had been thrown into the cement on a project she has been doing the designs on.

I am going to Mom and Dads in FL where ill dive the shark tank. I do it every year i like to give the sharks a shot at a turkey dinner to lol

 

[scottanhelen]

Wingnut just wanted to say thanks for starting this thread it is so good to hear positive things on here. The people who serve our great country, the people who do not forget our vets, and the people who do not forget the people who have no one during the hollidays will allways have my gratitude and respect.

[CharlesD]

I will be home. We will also have a couple empty chairs at the table that are open if a driver or a couple happen to be laid over in the Cincinnati area. It will be a mixture of traditional American fare and African food.

I have been at home for a week and a half, and this close to the weekend and I probably won't get a load before Monday. So with my good luck I will probably be out on the 24th.
