Thanksgiving

I love thanksgiving, it might even be my favourite holiday.

I have some pretty sweet memories

Thanksgiving 2001

My brother and his family, my mom and grandparents, my friend Marilynn and I gathered around the table at my grandparents to eat this amazing spread: roast turkey, roast potatoes, stuffing, carrots and turnip etc. After dinner Grandma Reggin served pumpkin pie and tea. In Reggin tradition everyone waits to eat. You do not start until Grandma sits down. My guest and my brothers were not aware and Stacey (my nephews mom) started to eat, my mom being the tact person she was caught her with her eyes and blurted it out to the whole table, as this was happening Marilynn started to stealthily cover her pie with whip cream, she was hoping her half eaten pie would go unnoticed. To her dismay, it did not. It was a good moment, a good thanksgiving the best part is we together we laughed.

Thanksgiving 2006

Dinner with the Duckworth family is always an adventure with constant laughter and banter. This family makes me feel like I am part of them. I am never out of place and always appreciated. It is really rare to go somewhere and to always feel welcome, they never make me feel like I have outstayed my welcome, if anything, they want me to stay longer. I can call them anytime and they will show up. I am very blessed by them. This particular thanksgiving they opted out of regualar tradition and together we shared fondue. Cheese and Oil Fondue for dinner and Chocolate for dessert. You would be amazed by the concoctions you can created with such a spread.
