This is a 'bittersweet' Thanksgiving at best for me. I really miss my husband and daughter (and my house) this morning. It's 22 with a windchill of 11 at our house and is snowing. (very different than here in Florida!)
It will no doubt be the last Thanksgiving with my Daddy here.
My inlaws traditionally go to my parents on Thanksgiving (Glenn is an only child and it would just be them alone so Mama has long invited them too). Today it will be my Mama, Daddy, my oldest brother and his family (wife and 3 kids), my youngest brother, his 2 kids, my 2 boys and me, my inlaws. That's 15 of us. We are having a real feast- turkey, dressing, ham, mashed potatoes (I am quite sure there will be gravy too!), green beans, corn, hashbrown casserole, baked beans, sweet potato casserole
Dessert: pumpkin pie, pecan pie (Cool Whip to top them), apple pie, cherry pie, coconut pie (my mother in law home made the cherry and coconut ones).
And of course we will have rolls and sweet tea!
My Daddy has always been the one to do the dressing for the turkey. Glenn called him asking for his dressing recipe, yesterday.
Glenn is a great cook, but this year will be his first turkey- he's doing the dressing though like my Daddy always did. (we've been doing that since we lived in Russia- but called yearly to ask how- never wrote it down- sure have now!).
Seriously- do pray for us! We are going to put tables in the living room so we can all sit as close to Daddy as we can (he's in a hospital bed in their room).

Praying so for your family!
