3. sounds deelicious
I like people who cook like a mo fo - that's a kind of martial art right?:evilgrin:

Hey maybe some elderly neighbors might like a dinner too! I cooked for my old geezer neighbors a couple of years ago and you would have thought I cured world hunger AND male pattern baldness! Felt pretty good too.

6. if you have a near by air or army base,
you can invite some single people( I have done this a couple of times) by or donate the dinner to a family on welfare or mother with handicapped kids. Association f retarded citizens might be a place to start.

I will call the local church and see about donating some pies and such. That would be my good deed

8. I Don't Know Why
this post makes me sad.

If I was in the neighborhood I would drop by with some brandied cranberry sauce.

Find some hungry friends and have a feast.

10. Central Texas?
Well, if I didn't have plans with my folks I'd take you up on that.

I might help dispose of leftovers, should the need arise. Mmmmmm...turkey sammiches! :9

11. I am sorry your family isn't going to be there
I would stop by, but I am visiting the folks and I live in Maryland.
Good luck though, and Happy Thanksgiving.

13. I like cooking too for a whole bunch!!!
But these days its pretty much myself and a 91 yr old uncle. I for some reason cannot cook for less that 6 people. I'm taking him to his daughters house this year she is doing all the work and I get to eat then go to work. My family has shrunk down too and as the rest of the relatives get older and infirmed it is hard to get them to leave the house. I pretty much usually work the holidays, it helps drive the blues away.

You could alway make a bunch of turkey soup for those chilly Tx. days. Happy TG Day.

14. I'm so sorry
I hope you have a good Thanksgiving otherwise. If I were in Texas (which, no offense, but I'm glad I'm NOT!) I would come bring you a pumpkin pie and share my holiday with you!

:hug:
