Thanksgiving

I'm spending Thanksgiving with my daughter, her husband and my two grand kids. The turkey is in the fridge waiting for attention. I am thankful to be here with them.
Betty, I'm thankful to know you and that you're still with us.
I wish all of you a very happy family gathering and good food to go with it.

Cooking together is really nice. Sounds like a grand time for all.

Victor/Dan,

I envy your memories. I miss my departed in-laws and parents, but not at Thanksgiviing. They were not a congenial group to have together and frayed my nerves.

I would work like a dog getting the house perfect which was not easy with two children.

Thanksgiving mornng my folks would arrive toting boxes of food--sugarless pies with whole wheat pastry etc.

I would begin the potatoes and Mom would say I was peeling them too much

My brother would start yelling that I should not peel the potatoes at all just mash them with the skins on.. Then when I mashed them Mom said I put too much butter on them.

No matter what I did, it was wrong.

It was very tiresome. My brother would rant and rave about --sugar, communism, Jews etc. Not fun!

I miiss Erma Bombeck--she was so dead on.
