Probably the organization of family activities has fallen to me, as well. That is why we rarely have organized events!!

Dad always carved the turkey right at the table (about the only thing he ever contributed to the meal, except significantly reducing the leftovers that had to be put away), and he was always a "handy man" around the house and farm. Then I got married. To say that my hubby is quite opposite Dad is qualified for understatement of the year: not handy (at ALL--I even hang pictures and change lightbulbs in our house! Good thing I Love him so!), and absolutely no clue how to carve a turkey. You can imagine our first Thanksgiving 2 years ago: I had slaved in the kitchen all day, his girls were "required" to each pick a favorite dish and prepare it (hoping to take some of the burden off of me, a plan that backfired miserably), and then we all sat down and I looked expectantly at Hubs. I had gotten the electric carving knife out for him, and the blank stare he gave me had me running for "FoodNetwork.com" for turkey carving instructions. Looking back on it, it was hysterical, but at the time I was pretty concerned that the green bean casserole was gonna get cold before the how-to video downloaded. Amazingly, dinner somehow always gets pulled off, and the strange things that aren't quite "a hit" at least make for good banter for years to come!DWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10669527334023053435noreply@blogger.com
