Welcome Friends,
Thanksgiving was such a wonderful day. Since 2020 has been a nightmare I was hoping that even though we couldn't get together with extended family I would keep it as close to our family's traditions. I served a very traditional meal with turkey, wild rice, green bean casserole, a baked corn dish, buns, cheesy potatoes, stuffing, cranberries, a strawberry jello salad and of course my grandma/mom's delicious pumpkin bars along with a delicious pecan pie and a pumpkin pie. I don't think anyone has been hungry since Thanksgiving since there has been so many leftovers. We had our annual gingerbread house decorating contest which I failed miserably but laughed so hard I was crying from the continual flop of the sides and roof of my house. It did finally stand with the help of glue 😜. Anyway, we ended the day with cribbage, carbles and of course football games. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and found some time to sit down grab a cup of coffee and relax. The pandemic has put a cloud over 2020 but we are all still able to find reasons to be thankful and for that I am blessed. Have a wonderful week. ~Jodi L
