My Dear Blogworld Friends,
My deepest hope is that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, no matter how you celebrated.
My heart has been so full of gratitude this weekend because of God's goodness, bounty, and that GREAT, AWESOME, INFINITE LOVE He has for me (us).
All of my children and Queen Mother were around our table. There were lots of parades, football, food, and fun, naps, more food and fun. But, I have to tell you that I did NOT serve leftover Slim Fast. Couldn't get by with that, you know. :) I have heard many *horror* stories of non-traditional menus at Thanksgiving (egg rolls, pizza, peanut butter and jelly). Eeeeeeek! Truthfully, we've always had the same dinner of turkey, dressing, casseroles, pies, etc. It just wouldn't FEEL like Thanksgiving without the traditional fare. (Makes me wonder why we identify certain holidays by the food we eat. What theory is that? Pavlov's?)
If you or someone you know celebrated this week in a funky Thanksgiving way, let us all hear about it.

I do apologize now that I have NO Thanksgiving pictures this week. My computer completely CRASHED Friday night, and I'm using a little Acer (aaaarrrrgggg!) I got long ago for a song and dance. So, my tower will go to the tower doctor this week. My postings will have to wait until everything is back to normal -- whatever/whenever that is.

Queen Mother's surgery is scheduled for Tuesday 9 a.m., so please remember her in your prayers. She is being so brave.

The Cowboys won! (How did that happen?) Miracles will never cease. Now, y'all should already KNOW that!!! I think I'll extend some grace to Wade and Jerry this week.
Until we meet here again, God bless you. Have a wonderful, blessed week.
See you in the funny papers. :)
Hey giblet! I knew you wouldn't let Thanksgiving go by the wayside. It's just not natural! I'll bet your family was glad to get the norm:) I watched the Cowboys win that game and thought of you. They won big! That other team must really be depressed about the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteWill remember your mom. Keep your chin up. Thanks for the great message. Looking forward to more news and pics.

Ok, girls, how did we get from LOC to Giblet? haha! I'm glad you had a great Thanksgiving. I love the traditional fare. We tried a few new recipes this year - casseroles, and desserts, but we gotta have the Greenberg and the glazed ham. My daughter made a wonderful crab dip which we cleaned up real quick, a new corn casserole and a pumpkin dump cake - it was DELICIOUS!!! TOO RICH!!! I wonder if there's a dessert that you could add Slimfast to???
ReplyDeleteWill keep you mom in my prayers this week. I know you're worried about her, but she is in good hands with the Great Physician. Keep us posted - Chickie Vickie
Sounds like you had a great day. We also stick with the traditional food. Wouldn't be Thanksgiving without it! Hope all goes well with your mom's surgery!
ReplyDeleteHey Deb! Yes, we had a great time with the family as I know you did too! We were at the Caver Clubhouse in Atlanta with the whole family and Dubya! That is my niece's husband Chris kissin him. It was too funny! We had an awesome fish fry that night. I have eaten so much this past week I could hardly button my slacks for work. UGH! But it sure was a fun time.
ReplyDeleteI will be praying that all goes well with your mom's surgery.
toodles...
I was just getting over the flu on Thanksgiving and could not put a meal together so we put the turkey in the freezer and went to Cracker Barrel!
ReplyDeleteWe had no idea their turkey dinner special was really so... special. Yum... I told the guys I could do this next year.
I'm not sure that will work as Thanksgiving is the only Holiday meal that we don't tweak at all. But they enjoyed the turkey meal there, too. No dishes. :)
hope that your mother did well today. was and will be praying for her. Thanksgiving here was spent at a brother's of mine who hadn't spoke to me in 2 yrs. almost. Was nice...his wife fixed it all.
