An unfortunate turkey we raised 2 years ago... he was a beauty... and he tasted very good!Wow... what a wonderful surprise... Thanksgiving for me was a day truly to be thankful for!
My in laws were out of town and so we decided to just celebrate together as a family.
On Wednesday, all of the kids, Tom and I cleaned house. That night some of us went to town to finish shopping. Thank God for Wal-Mart. What did we ever do without Wal-Mart? We splurged on a festive tablecloth and some smelly candles.
Thanksgiving morning all of the kids were excited about cooking dinner. I made a list and everybody chose which dish they wanted to help cook. I had so much fun teaching them and telling stories about my childhood and about the people who handed down the recipes to me.
Everyone was home, even my college kid oldest.
I called many of my relatives back in Ohio and everything was Okay. I missed my Mom, but it wasn't so bad. Her passing has given me a new deeper appreciation for the Dear Ones who are still here with me.
