Things I am Thankful for

Happy Thanksgiving to you. It will soon be here. What does your family do for the day? That is, other than stuff yourself and love every second of it ,only to go back thirty minutes later and secretly eat another piece of pie.I know you have done it ! If you haven't you should try it it. I guess I may be the only glutton that tells the truth about what I do in private.

One of the funiest stories Dee's family likes to tell is of his dad one holiday. He was a big man and loved to eat almost as much as I do. Dee's mother, Mrs. Brookshire to me, says that food was the only thing he ever lied to her about. But anyho, the story goes that no one could find Dee's father anywhere. Everyone was looking and calling and soon he was found, sitting in the dark, in the living room in a chair knawing on a BIG turkey leg from Thanksgiving dinner. Now, I just tell you what, that man knew how to have a good time! Just my kind of man, eating a turkey leg in the dark!!!!

Our thanksgivings have changed over the years. When I was growing up we always went to my Mammaw's and ate a huge meal that was the same every year.Mammaw always had oyster dressing and chicken and dumplings. Then ,when I married we went to the farm where my first husbands family had a farmhouse and had a big blowout there.Pass eleven years... Next, We would alternate years going between Dee's home and my moms house. My maternal grandmother(LIL MOM) would always try and get me to watch her make dressing and I would just die because I did not want to do it. I hated putting my fingers in that egg stuff, Wished I had a paid attention now! Then we tried going to the beach a few years with my mom and my side of the family. Lauren and Lucy always continued to go to their dad's at the farm every year. Sometimes we would go to our lake house, just Dee,Jeane Carroll, and I and now we are back to going to the beach. It varies..Just the same ,we will cook and eat and be with those we love and most of all we will be thankful for the fact that we are with some of our extended family, That's it for me.. variety seems to be the spice of life with us.

I would love to hear about what some of you do.Comment to me, Please, I love to hear from you.
