Got up early this morning to cook the turkey bird. Bird is in the oven and smells amazing already! Sitting here sipping my coffee and thinking on Thanksgivings past. Missing my loved ones.
I asked my kids the other day what was their favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner:
- Pumpkin pie ~Thing 2 and Lil Bit
- Pecan pie ~ Thing 1, that’s my girl!
- OLIVES & PICKLES~ Thing 1 after she thought about it for a while, totally my girl. 😉
The olives and pickles tray was my Grandmother’s thing. Every Thanksgiving we had baby dills and sweet gherkins, and green & black olives. And I always got to eat as many as I wanted. 😛 Grandma made sure of that.
Family traditions are fun like that (sometimes).
So we’ll have some pickles and olives on the table. A pumpkin and pecan pie. A turkey with cornbread dressing, sweet potatoes and green bean casserole… maybe. And give some thanks for what we have, each other.
Alaska on my mind...
