With highs in the 40's and lows in the 20's, it was the coldest Thanksgiving that I can ever remember, but there was warmth in our hearts.
The bird was prepped and in the oven at 8:06 am, after having cooked a large Mac & cheese for an event taking place for people who did not have a safe place to go on Thanksgiving day.
Jeannine and Georgia Girl arrived at about 5:15pm.
Jill and Jarrod at about 5:45pm. Jarrod chose to work at his Kroger job on Thanksgiving, so we had dinner instead of our usual lunch. Jarrod came in waving the $19 he made in tips. He said the Kroger was slammed.
We each told what we are thankful for (except for Georgia who is generally always thankful. (Welcome to a dogs life,)
We thanks God for the blessings of life and for family here and away.
This THANKSGIVING spread included:
Turkey, dressing and gravy, Stove Top Stuffing, Mac & cheese, squash casserole, sweet potatoe soufflé, deviled eggs, turnip greens, green beans and pumpkin and key lime pies for dessert.
We got a call from out Joy and Naperville extension saying they were ready to Skype. (#IamthankfulforSkype)
Bobby hears the laughter and returns (or maybe it was a commercial...)
The day concluded with everyone going their separate ways, but we proved, once again, that geography is only a technicality and not a deterrent. Family finds a way.
