Our Thanksgiving Dinner has been canceled. [View all]

Our good friend who was to host today collapsed while cooking this morning. He's being admitted to the hospital. We're not sure what is wrong with him and are very concerned. We're hoping he recovers quickly.

My husband just went to the store and bought a turkey breast that he'll cook up later and we'll have some stuffing and veggies and ice cream for dessert. But it just won't be much of a celebration worrying about our dear friend.

Hope you all are having a much better thanksgiving day than we are.
