Wow, where has the year gone??? How can thanksgiving be here today? I've been in a fog this year, it seems.
I am incredibly thankful to all of you, my blog friends, for your support the past year, it was much easier having all of you beside me.
So, am of course thankful for my health today, and my family, especially Tom and Sam, who have been beside me too.
Have a great Thanksgiving, everyone!
Timaree, Freebird Sings, posted this meme, and I copied it from
Carol's blog. Since Thanksgiving is today, here's my thoughts!
1. Which do you like better: Cooking at your house, or going elsewhere?
Home!!! Ever since we moved up to Three Lakes, we've had everyone to our houe… 21 years now… and Tom does the turkey, stuffing, potatoes, I do the extras.
2. Do you buy a fresh or frozen bird?
Frozen…
3. What kind of stuffing?
Tom makes the stuffing with turkey livers and apples and his own concoction of spices.
4. Sweet potato or pumpkin pie?
Pumpkin!!! Fresh whipped cream. Pecan pie too, and this year mincemeat, all made my mom-in-law…
5. Do you believe that turkey leftovers are a curse, or the point of the whole thing?
Definitely a point of the whole thing…turkey sandwiches, turkey ala king, yum!

Green bean casserole and corn casserole.

Carcass goes to mom-in-law who then cooks up wonderful soup.

We NEVER go somewhere else for a holiday dinner!
