….Was a ROUSING SUCCESS!!!
\nAnd my feet are talking to me. But, the kids two generations down washed all the dishes for me, and most of the dishes have been put away. My stepson has put tables back where they belong, and will help me tomorrow, bringing up the Christmas trees.
\nThere were thirty-nine people here for the day. They began arriving at noon. Dinner was scheduled for 3:00, and we actually got there a little late, but the appetizers were wonderful and no one complained.
\nThis year, in addition to the traditional green beans deluxe, and broccoli casserole, we added a corn dish, sauteed Brussels sprouts and mashed sweet potatoes. No one goes hungry at our house! *G* My sister made the traditional pumpkin pies, one of my nieces made creme brulee, and another brought chocolate dipped strawberries and a pear-hazelnut cake.
\nAs we gathered before the meal, my youngest sister read to us Abraham Lincoln’s proclamation which started Thanksgiving Day. It’s good to know our history, and why we celebrate this day.
\nShould you be in our neck of the woods next Thanksgiving, drop in. We have more than enough to share.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
