Well it's our second Thanksgiving coming up in Tampa Bay. My how time flies. So what are your plans for the big day and what are you thankful for?

My folks are flying down from MA to spend Thanksgiving with us and my in-laws at our house. I am so very thankful for that. It will be the best Thanksgiving in years. I am thankful for a wonderful family. I am thankful I am still able to use my legs at this point. I am thankful for the great medical care here in Tampa Bay. I am thankful for all the nice people I have connected with on C-D.

And of course I am thankful for our new little puppy. She is adorable.

We used to spend thanksgiving at my parents house in Dade city. This year we decided to do it at our house. My parents are getting up in age and its harder for them to do it. Its our turn now, As our family grows with new additions, my parents can sit back and just enjoy the holiday season. Also got news my little brother from Tennessee will be joining as well. I will be Grilling the turkey outside this year to free up the stove inside for my wife's cooking. Food-Family-Football.. Life is good.

We're doing it home. So, as usual I'll be frying a turkey, and doing baked potatoes along other veggies on the grill. Since my mother-in-law is a real-deal Italian (born and raised) we have lasagna too.

We'll eat outside on the lanai, probably have some good deserts too.

I invited family down from up north but don't expect them to make it.

Perhaps a turkey lasagna! I have fried a couple of turkeys they come out great, but this will be my first on the grill. Enjoy.

Cry about the warm weather and thankful for that string of lows in the 40's and highs in the 60's that you said was coming that will not be coming.

Thx. We love having her as part of our family.

Hopefully the clouds clear and we warm up some, so we can all have the doors and windows open for Turkey Day.

We go up to visit family in Christmas and stay here for Thanksgiving. Since we have no family here, we always are invited by friends or coworkers so it works out well.

I am thankful for 80 degree weather and sitting outside watching football in my shorts and sandals in November into December!

My wife and I will be in Apollo Beach all week. The final walk through of our new house is scheduled for the 26th. We are very thankful and thrilled that our house is almost ours! We're not sure what we'll do on Thursday but we'll be going out.
