Thanksgiving, Thursday, November 23, 1961, sixty years ago today. This day of celebration was the most important holiday of the year for my mom, Christine.
She would do it up big with all the fixin's: gravy, cranberry sauce,
mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, biscuits, pies, cookies, etc, a bit
high carb i guess. A few times Ben, my dad, and Chris invited service
men with
nowhere to go for the holiday to share our dinner. Mom
died ten years ago this month on November 4, 2011, twenty days short of
The Big Day, a bit of irony. This is a memory of my mom, my family and Thanksgiving.
