What was written here and other family blogs, is to experience once more the goodness that we had. That helps us to recognize what we have now. <BR/>And as is said at the end of our prayers, "Amen".Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288597968563641842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114307744147144762.post-41956930343600674472008-11-27T18:56:00.000-07:002008-11-27T18:56:00.000-07:00It is fun to read about Thanksgiving from Elizabet...It is fun to read about Thanksgiving from Elizabeth's perspective. As each of you older siblings left home, the holiday changed for those of us still at home. Sometimes the day before was spent watching the headlights as they came down off the hill after turning off the highway and hoping beyond hope that it was a brother or sister coming home for the holiday. There were not alot of those visits for the holidays. Going to school and taking care of new families didn't allow for the kind of travel we now sometimes take for granted. The electric stove simplified the process of cooking, but Mother stayed true to the food that she had always prepared. It was wonderful - and always such a treat. How many of you still make the sage dressing? That is the only dressing my kids will eat. How many of you still cook fresh cranberries to eat with your turkey, and are the sweet potatoes are still a Thanksgiving treat. <BR/>What warm memories of sweet times, then and now. Elizabeth is right, we all do have so much to be thankful for - and on my list, among so many other things, is all of you. Happy Thanksgiving!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06652616779595499610noreply@blogger.com
