We will celebrate Thanksgiving at my parents' house today. My parents and 95 year old Grandma will be there, along with my sister, brother-in-law & neice, and my brother-in-law's brother his wife. We usually have the traditional fare of turkey, dressing and gravy, but with some variations in the side dishes and desserts. For home economics this week, My Only Sunshine has been preparing most of our part of the feast. We are making corn & green bean casserole, sweet potatoe casserole, pistachio salad, homemade rolls (the only thing I'm making), and pumpkin pies. (This has been especially helpful since I've had "the crud" this week. :-( )
Thanksgiving is such a special time! For our "tea party" this week, My Only Sunshine and discussed the things we are thankful for over a cup of hot chocolate. Some of the things we mentioned were family, freedom, and technology. We also read this week's poetry selection, Shakespeare's Sonnet 116, and 2 Corinthians 9:6-15.
We have a wonderful family to share the day with, it's a beautiful day outside, and inside the house is smelling wonderful with the scent of pumpkin pie and bread! It doesn't get any better than that!
