Happy Thanksgiving!

On Thanksgiving Day some people eat turkey, others may prefer ducks or chickens. Or vegetarians may prefer something altogether different. The Canadians celebrated their Thanksgiving in October, we in the US have our feast and family gatherings in November. In the morning we will gather at a local school and send boxes and boxes of dinners that have been cooked by volunteers with drivers to deliver the food to homes throughout the city and surrounding suburban areas. My husband and I will drag ourselves out of bed to get to school by 7 am to receive our list of addresses, deliver the food to families who otherwise might not be able to celebrate this important day, and will probably be home by 11 am. Then I get to cook and serve our little family about 5 pm: turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, sweet potato chips, corn souffle, asparagus, corn bread, wine, apple cider, and pecan pie. Music and football will be the entertainment of the day. No! Wait! Our funny and humorous little granddaughter will provide the most amusement. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates this feast with us!! I'm grateful that I have this day to share and to thank for my many blessings.

  9. Its a wonderful way to spend our American Thanksgiving.
    Two Granddaughters, Hubby and I served traditional dinner to about 200 homeless at a local church this morning. It was a very fulfilling experience.
    Wishing you the best and agree we have so much to be thankful for.
