Happy Thanksgiving!!
Ah yes, the smell of giblets cooking on the stove. . . I had that today. . . with my mom. She came over to help me get the turkeys ready for tomorrow and get the giblets cooked and ready for the stuffing. She did that last year too--I still have so much to learn! The cooking is the easy part--of course our three turkeys were still partway frozen, but that was okay. We are frying 2 and baking one so that we can still have gravy and good dressing that soaks up all the fat while it's cooking inside the turkey--oh and leftovers for everybody because there is nothing like Thanksgiving leftovers. My whole family will be over--all 18 of us (I had to sit here and count that on my fingers as I can never remember how many of us there is!). I still have my sausage dressing to make tonight--I'll bake that tomorrow. Then there's the 10 pounds of potatoes to peel. I have to find the little knife my Grandma Liz gave me a long time ago--it's the best potato peeling knife I have and one of my favorite things she gave me--probably because it was brand new when she gave it to me, and my sisters both got something from the second hand store that Christmas (tee hee). All in all it will be a fun day with lots of noise and activity. Yayy!!! Happy Thanksgiving to Everybody!!!!!!

How cool! I'm so glad you were able to spend the day with your mom! What a great gift.
And what a great memory of Grandma! I love the gift of the potato peeler. Scott and I always got giant - and I do mean GIANT Herhey chocolate bars with Almonds. I know you still have your gift but I wouldn't trade what she gave me for anything in the world! Me and my bro couldn't wait for those bars to come. We would get them - grab the peanut butter jars and the kitchen knife and run to the family room where we would smother those poor bars with the thick delicousness of JIF and then devour them until we just couldn't eat another bite.
Memories. How divine are they!
Have Thanksgiving to you and the entire family! Wish we could all be together some year! Wouldn't that be a blast! Hugs to you all!
Love you!
Whoops!
I meant "Have a Happy Thankgiving!"
not "Have Thanksgiving"
I remember the hershey bars too! Those were the best. Sometimes they had the $2 bill taped to the bottom of them. So sweet.
So..I am wondering what second hand thing I got from Grandma that year. Perhaps the coffee mugs that had that funny mustard yellow color on them. :) I have them...some where I am sure.
