It's that time again! My favorite holiday.
I plan to bake a ham, buy a smoked turkey breast, and make my mom's southern dressing and gravy.
Mashed potatoes, corn pudding, salad, green beans, rolls are also on the menu.
Desserts will include Lemon Ice Box pie, pecan pie, and Three Berry Pie.
We will have six guests, so there will be lots of leftovers.
My tree is ready, and the house is clean. Yay! It's a beautiful day to appreciate blessings.
The first Thankful meal was not anything like the one we prepare today.
The surviving members of the 1621 gathering probably ate venison and fish. Perhaps someone supplied a wild turkey or two. The celebration lasted about three days.
None of my guests want fish, well my grandson does like sushi, but he's not getting it at my house.
I'd love a three day celebration, but we won't have that either. I'm happy to see my sweet relatives and friends for three hours. That's about all the time any of us have to spare these days.
What are your blessings this year? Be sure to count them, and above all, give the Lord a prayer of gratitude.
And after all the guests are gone and clean up is done. Read one of my books.
