When I think of Thanksgiving some of the first things that come to mind are; Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, family football games (although we didn't do this, it is something that I associate with the holiday. I love seeing all these families at the parks together playing football.), and pumpkin pies. I don't know when it started but for as long as I can remember Dad always made the pies at our house. I am passing that on to my boys (course they asked to do it, and I was only to eager to ablige!)Some of the things that we had growing up for our feast were, turkey, pumpkin pie, a pudding pie (flavor varied though the years), salad, fruit salad, corn, mashed potatoes and in later years frog eye salad. There may have been other things but these are what stand out for me.
As for the things that I am thankful for?? Many! I could not imagine my life where it is now without all the wonderful blessings we have been blessed with. I have 6 beautiful children, and although they try my patience at times, I love them. I have a wonderful husband, yea we have our days too.... and we are blessed with the simple things in life. No need to get complicated, life is complicated enough!
May you all have a wonderful day and I am thankful for you!
