Where has this year gone? It’s difficult to wrap
my head around the fact that this time next week it will be Thanksgiving. My
goodness! I need to get my recipes together and a grocery shopping list prepared!
Throughout all the years, I’ve missed sharing only
one Thanksgiving Dinner with my parents. I remember that year as if it was
yesterday. Although I then lived in Shreveport , work
took me to Hot Springs , Arkansas Dallas
It was an odd feeling that day, eating alone at a
restaurant. Since Daddy became a diabetic, I’ve learned more about nutrition
and the balance of foods in the diet. Because of the lack of side dishes offered,
it was the Thanksgiving I learned to eat English Peas.

That Thanksgiving many years ago instilled in me
the importance of celebrating the holiday with family, specifically with my
parents. When I can spend any day with them, is a celebration within itself. My heart/mind knows I don’t have many left.
For me, Thanksgiving is an extra
special time (Christmas is as well, but I’m trying to stay focused here, on
point).
Last year, I told Momma I really wanted to prepare
“next year’s Thanksgiving” meal for everyone. I rarely entertain anymore. I can’t
remember the last time Bud & I had guests over (that’s another story and I’m
not going off topic).
She forgot…
I reminded her.
I’m looking forward to grocery shopping this Sunday
afternoon, then Monday when I start baking pies!
Maybe I ought to add English Peas to the menu…
How will you celebrate Thanksgiving?
