Thank you for your well wishes and hope you didn't mind the intrusion of the husband. Actually he got more comments than any of my other postings....so I'm feeling like he maybe I could be voted off. He offered to do the posting, and quite honestly ladies I was worried about what he would write, and then he wanted to post with a picture of me. Since I looked and felt like I was already 10 feet under -I refused. Seriously, who takes pictures of people sick?? And what would you all have said? "wow, she really does look horrible---couldn't you at least comb your hair?" I never have been that sick, I don't think. And glad it's past. I'm feeling much better.
So....on with this week. Yesterday we attended our first Thanksgiving feast for the year. Yes, early but very appreciated. It helps to spread these holidays out when bringing a full van. Thanksgiving and Christmas meals are never very much fun when you have to save room for the next meal in 3 hours. We did that early in our marriage (2 family get togethers in one day) and I'm glad to put my lead foot down on that one. So we were at my family's for a Delicious meal of all the originals...turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, etc. And then later in the afternoon after naps, Grandma thought it would be fun to let the kids roll out their own pretzels.
This was just for fun...we hadn't made pretzels in Thanksgiving past....but what a great treat. The kids made their own unique shapes. Maybe this should be part of our new tradition, it's fun to mix things up a bit.
So....this brings me to a introduction of a little survey I would like to take from all of you..........
I would like to know special traditions or memories you all have had in Thanksgivings' past. Or a favorite recipe you always have at your T-day meal. Or a funny story you have from years past. Add it as a comment on this post and on Thanksgiving day I will randomly pick one of those names. Then I will send one lucky winner a prize in the mail. (O.k. as in "prize" Ya know the prizes you get in cereal boxes? Think bigger... just not much.)
So get busy and leave a comment about Thanksgiving. I can't wait to see what you have to say!
