We had planned on having a large family gathering but the weather predictions sounded like travel would be dangerous so everyone stayed home this year. Our temperatures have been below freezing and we've had periods of sleet and snow. Today however, it is sunny and 40 at the moment, but snow and dropping temperatures are being forecasted for tonight and over the next few days.
I spoke to the kids on the phone and that helped me feel better. I am very thankful for my loving family. I am truly blessed to have them in my life.
Here are a few pictures of our meal. We bought a farm fresh turkey from a local farmer - it was wonderful - no toxic additives or chemicals, growth hormones or medications. It was so tender and flavorful! We had home made stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, broccoli, cole slaw, rolls and Steve made a scrumptious cranberry pecan relish. Everything was so good. Of course, Mom made a pumpkin pie.
We missed everyone but our thoughts were with you today - and always.
