"Happy ThanksGiving!!!"


Gobbles

Thanksgiving, to me, starts the beginning of my favorite Holiday season...  My Mom would start preparing a week before... finding out  who all would be coming home for Thanksgiving... what they would like to have with the turkey...  My Mom was the best... and of course, I am biased...


Last Thanksgiving was a train wreck... I posted about it HERE ...  Instead of trying to see if my daughter can work me into her time schedule this year, I am driving down to New Orleans later this morning... I will spend a few days with her and her husband, Heff Bert...
Shannon and Bert 
Hallowe'en Night
The Superdome


My 'kids' and I will have a great time!!

I do love them so!!!


Happy Thanksgiving...

I do hope you enjoy the time and your families...

    I read last year's post. That really hurt my heart. You should have said something about pulling about tissues in addition to the trainwreck. That was really sad. Family stuff like that gets me every time. I am glad that you are going to see her, but she really should be the one making this right with you. Just sayin'. Of course, the flip side of that argument is that love is the important thing and that it really doesn't matter who makes it right so long as it gets right. I am now devil advocating with myself. I think they call that hearing voices. Egads.

    Your capacity to forgive and carry on is inspiring. I know more than my share of families who "aren't speaking" because of some stupid dust-up no one can remember and they are missing out on so much. Given time and the right amount of goodwill, all that can fade and the table can be full again at Thanksgiving. Happiness to you, dear shoes!

    @ Ms Linnn!!! Hey you!!! I have some of that internal strife in my own family. I have a brother with whom I haven't spoken since the day of Dad's funeral. She's my daughter... I love her... She's been around when i needed someone... I will always be there when she needs someone.

    I love my kids... :o)
