10 is about right these days. I miss the days when we'd have almost 30 people before the family split up and went their separate ways. It's inevitable, though, I guess. The kids grow up, move off, have families of their own and then start having their own Thanksgivings. I will be a wreck when this happens to my daughters, but I have already told my oldest that I'd make the drive to wherever she lives even if it's clear across the country!
I hear ya!

My kids always come for Thanksgiving. When it is my daughter-in-law's turn to go to her parents, we eat earlier or later so they can do both--my son says his in-laws have weird food, LOL.
 
The extended family gathering can be 24-32 but we have moved that celebration to a nearby hall with amble parking and plenty of room to eat in one big room. As for when I have to host it can be as small as 3 and upwards to 8.
 
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 180
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 153
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 92


Happy June Arrives! Today folks we have 180 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 153 days to go until November, and 92 days left until The Bers. Our big milestone folks are here as June has arrived. Our next milestone will be the 150-Day Marker till November. It will be big, my friends. That will happen on Tuesday. For now, we aren’t worried about Tuesday, are we? We are worried about today. We want to enjoy each day as much as we can, including through our Summer Sweatfest which picks up a little steam as we enter the month of June. Of course, the real “steam” usually comes next month. But we’ll see how everything goes here in June. It’s the weekend my friends so time for our quiet weekend period which is a big key and a big time to enjoy in this thread. We had enough busy times this week. And I look forward to a quieter weekend, which I hope all of you do as well. Not too crazy this weekend but we do have a family even this evening so I will get home later than usual. Dare I say close to my bedtime? But I’ll be doing errands and such most of the day until then including laundry and food shopping. Turkey friends I hope you’re doing well and be positive today. It’s a great day. Have a great June Arrives!​

DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 179
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 152
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 91


Happy Early June! Today folks we move along and have 179 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 152 days left until November, and 91 days to go until The Bers. Our next milestone will be on Tuesday which will be the 150-Day Marker till November. That’ll be major for sure. But friends we move along in our Summer Sweatfest here in the first weekend of June feeling good. And we have our Quiet Weekend Period Part 2 now. Not topics today. Just a bunch of countdowns above and some relaxing times in this chat to read up on the count, make a few posts, and think turkey thoughts on a warm Sunday for most of us. It should be warmer this coming week and more humid. It’s going to get sweaty friends. But this is only the beginning. I remember last year in July how hot and humid it was every single day. It was so sweaty. And it made the time slow down. I joked it felt like we had 6 or 7 weeks of July. That’s how January feels sometimes to me too. But right now in early June the real heat/humidity isn’t here (yet). We’ll see how hot it gets as we get deeper into the heart of summer and those dog days. And the 50 Day Preview of the Bers will try to cool us off along with turkey thoughts. Best to all of you today. Have a great Early June!​
 
The Weekend Before Thanksgiving Feels are big today. I think it is a combination of the cool/cloudy morning, the countdowns, and the time to relax and let the topics of the past week sink in and enjoy. I am going to skip thinking about humidity for now and just relax and keep the T-giving Feels going.
 
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 178
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 151
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 90


Happy June Week! Today folks we move along and have 178 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 151 days to go until November, and 90 days left until The Bers. Our next milestone will arrive tomorrow on Tuesday with the 150-Day Marker till November. We move along in our very early part of our Summer Sweatfest in a brand new week on this Monday talking about a very fun Weekly Countdown till Thanksgiving Week which we do every single Monday in this thread. And this week folks we now are down to 25 weeks. Wow. That’s amazing. I always say those first couple of weeks of the count feels free till we get to 50. And now we’re down halfway from that to 25. Into the 2nd half of our count too. And with a big round 90 at The Bers making it feel like this full 3 summer months is just beginning which it mostly is. But we’re all going to enjoy the summer here together. And we’ll crank up the a/c when we get cranky from the heat. Turkey friends I wish you all a great day today. I hope you have a great start to your week and that everything goes well for you. And that you enjoy your day as much as you can because you can never get it back. That’s what I read from someone’s post on FB recently. Have a great June Week!​
 
I think it's something like only 14 Sundays left until regular season NFL Football is back. Which means that we are seeing pre-season games in 9 - 10 weeks from now!

Have a great day!
 
I have some vacation days left to schedule and was thinking about taking a few days off the week before Thanksgiving. But then it occurred to me that it won't make Thanksgiving feel like it's coming any earlier if I do. It would be a waste of vacation days especially with Michelle still working. Maybe I'll use them this summer and save one for Veterans Day.
