ReplyDeleteWe had good family friends that lived very far away. Every year they would come visit us or we would go visit them for Thanksgiving. 4 adults 6 girls. The 6 of us would create a play every single year to perform for the adults. My favorite was one we called "Idiots on Ice" In our shoes we would 'skate' on a tiny ice patch/pond and bump into each other. That was the entire play. I had bruises for weeks but it was worth the slapstick humor and that play has survived as my favorite play ever performed!
ReplyDeletedelicious pie!
ReplyDeleteSitting at the "kid's table" and being silly with my cousins :) That, and the FOOD !!! Thank you for this chance to win the beautiful kite paper !
ReplyDeleteGrandparents coming over. Good china and tablecloth in dining room. Being together.
ReplyDeleteI always loved lazing around in my pajamas, watching the thanksgiving day parade on tv and sipping eggnog. :)
ReplyDeleteEvery year without fail, we would look forward to the turkey dance... My mother, before stuffing the turkey in the morning, would dance the slippery thing across the counter and.around the kitchen holding it by its wings and dancing its legs with a "clack clack clack" across the surface. We giggled and shrieked like crazy when she danced it towards us.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was young, we used to get very excited to watch the parade. We didn't watch a lot of TV, but it was one thing we did watch, and it was always fun to see the inventive floats.

I remember standing with my grandma in her small kitchen, "helping her" cook, eating way too many olives and watching her busily preparing dinner. It was a safe, warm, and happy place to be :)
ReplyDeleteI remember my mom decorating the house with autumn and Thanksgiving decorations. We still use little cloth pilgrims and native americans and a turkey that my mom set out in the 70's!
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving is time for family! my fondest memory is being at my grandparents house with all my cousins, aunts, uncles, and parents of course. And my grandmothers minced meat pie! I can still smell it! Thank you for bringing this back to my mind
ReplyDeleteI loved taking a family walk after dinner. It's ironic for me to reflect on this right now...as I think about this memory, taking a walk got us away from the TV. Today, we rarely have it on in my home. Interesting how even back then, I didn't like it on, but just didn't know! Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteTaking a walk with the family after dinner.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny to reflect on this now, as I can see that taking a walk got us away from the TV. Today, we rarely have it on in my home. Interesting how even back then I didn't like it, I just didn't know. Happy Thanksgiving.
I remember going to my Mammaw's house. All throughout the day all of the extended family would come over. We spent all day over there preparing the food and enjoying each other's company. Now that my pappaw has died and others have moved away, it's definately different, but the same feeling of togetherness and warmth.
ReplyDeleteFor many years, we would drive south on 95 to South Carolina to visit my grandparents for Thanksgiving. I remember being excited to visit South of the Border and picking pecans from my grandparents yard.
