Memories & Nostalgia

Yes, I’m going to be 56 next month…wow, 56, that’s amazing! Where did that time go.

We spent the day at Mom’s, she is a gentle, sweet, precious, frail woman (she would hate me to say that last part about her) who has given so much in her almost 80 years of life, it was a privilege to be able to give back by going over early and helping set everything up and then to help clear up. She likes to have it at her home each year, and makes a delicious turkey and pies, and we make and do all the rest. I admit I was tired by the end of the day, but it’s not about me right now, it’s about family and Mom.

The best laughs of the day were those spent at our home earlier when my daughter and her husband stopped by to visit before we all got into the car and went over to my Mom’s. I love my 2 children, and it was good to be with both today when we could share time together.

Thanksgivings have ALWAYS been at my parents, and now my Mom’s except for one year when we were out in Colorado with my husband’s family, and a few years when my Mom and Dad would go up to Mass. to be with and help my grandparents on my mother’s side.

So from generation to generation we go, each generation giving thanks for family, all that the Lord has done for us, and how blessed we are to be able to sit down at a table full of bounty.

I hope all had a thankful Thanksgiving.
