The food was excellent. The football games were exciting for the most part. Spending time with my crazy family is always…interesting.

Especially my 93-year-old grandmother.

Me: “Hi Mimi! You look so pretty in purple!”

Mimi: “Thank you honey. You look good too. Have you lost weight?”

Me: “I have! Thanks for noticing!”

Mimi: “I thought so. You looked a little porky at the re-enactment a few months ago.”

Needless to say, I skipped the lemon icebox pie for dessert.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

Honesty is highly overrated.

Your Mimi sounds like my Grandma did. Question 1: “Kayren (she always pronounced it that way) have you lost weight honey?” Question 2: “Are you dating anyone Kayren?”

Every single solitary time I saw her. LOL!

Were you at dinner with MY family?!?! I swear those same words came out of MY 86 year-old, purple wearing Mimi’s mouth on Thursday… except I don’t think she said porky, she prefers chunky. But, if I were you, I’d have eaten that pie AND a scoop of blue bell!
