You're Next!

A little Friday humor for you. 

 

 

It is amazing how quickly time flies.  As soon as Halloween is over, our focus moves onto Thanksgiving.  The big gathering of family and friends which means you have the menu to consider, the shopping list to contend with, the cooking and the baking, all that work for just one little day on the calendar.  It's takes a lot of time an preparation but then, would you really want it any other way?  Maybe some families would, but for me and mine, we go overboard.  We gather too many people into the house, make enough food to feed a small army, open the wine and let the conversation and laughter flow. 

 

I have many memories from my childhood of too many people crammed into my grandparents tiny home, the adults sharing the big table in the kitchen while the kids dined off the card tables in the family room.  I hoped and prayed that one day I would graduate to the "BIG" table, especially since I was the only granddaughter within a whole brood of grandsons.  Thank goodness I had an aunt that was my age.  (Yes, I said that correctly.)  It never happened!  But those are memories instilled in my heart that I hold dear today.  I hope you're traditions bring happy memories for you as well. 

 

So in the craziness of getting ready for your Thanksgiving celebration this year, remember that you're making memories for the future.  Ones that you will think back upon and smile.
