Would anyone of my friends enjoy having Thanksgiving Dinner cooked for them?Views: 137

It looks as though I am going to be alone for Thanksgiving, and I have never been alone before. So, I thought if any of my friends that weren’t feeling up to it, I’d be glad to drive or fly to your hometown and stay at a local Motel and come & fix your Family Dinner for you. I would clean everything up and you could have a very tasty dinner. This is really new for me and the thought of being alone is really more than I can bear….......

I live in Michigan – Farmington Hills…. I totally understand about being alone. You are welcome to join my family, we have a nice big dinner, a little crazy but you would probably love it. I had so many people open doors for me when I was sick that I would love to open a door for someone else. Heidi

Also we have a guest room in our house, no motel would be needed….. if you are interested just let me know jc56hj@hotmail.com

There’s open doors in Texas too! No cleaning required! lol

My husband and I would love to have you join us, as well. We’re in MA. And we also have a spare room.

hey! u could always come n stay w. us! i’m only 20years old, not the best cook. i cooked thanks giving dinner last year, for my first time and it was pretty good! so this year i’m cooking, maybe u can give me some tips. i’m in NJ. let us know! =)

Dear Patty,

I haven’t heard from you in a while. Are you ok? I’m getting worried.

Kathy
