“Thanks Be That We are All Together”

Nov 25th “Thanks Be That We are All Together”

“Looks like the “CHEF Alan” himself, just has to give the “Lucky Bird” one more test for complete doneness!”

“Yes, that is ME at the sink – why – who knows, now – but – for some good ole reason – something or someone needed something – and – I was able to take care of whatever it was!”

A second thought just came to me, this could be the beginning of a new “FAD” – start taking pictures of people from the “Backside.” We always take pictures of people and we are looking at their face – but – NOW, if we see them from the backside, we just have a better idea of what they really look like, and will be able to pick them out of a CROWD – no matter which way they are going – we will know – who – goes there!

Now that the “TURKEY” is here, and baked to perfection, as we did all enjoy it, as some of us even had room, for second helpings and because of the size, there was enough for some “leftovers” – to be taken home – with those that may have wanted a snack for the next day – as there was plenty to go around.

While the main attraction, the “TURKEY” was resting, we were busy with the other foods seeing to it, that the foods that needed to be warm were just right, and a check on the “GOOD GRAVY” was just the way it was supposed to be.

We had two tables set up and ready and “Great Grandson Lex” was seated nicely in his own highchair. Serving spoons and utensils all available – and just like in a “Self-serve Restaurant” get in line and help yourself – just do not take too long- as others are behind you and will start a new row, at the other counter to get their first choice at what they like, and plenty of it.

One good thing for sure about this time of the year – you do get to see and hear from all of he relatives – especially those that have to work more hours and at different times, than the others – and with a large gathering, having a terrific meal to be shared – on this day and time spent together, is just like being in Heaven – we all get to take our own time, in the doing and talking – as it seems, that the clock just stops – just to let all of us humans, enjoy a wonderful and terrific time together – making a memory to be remembered for always!

“OUR main PRAYER is always, that we might be BLESSED to receive those Blessings – that will allow all of our FAMILY and FRIENDS to once again, be reunited – in just another terrific united get together!” D.V.
