to my Parents' house for Thanksgiving!
And on T-day we start our early morning
with some Pie-Earning
by Turkey Trotting!
Sometimes,
the Best time at a Race has nothing to do with Finish Time!
Love running with My Family!
When we got back to the site of the Feasting,
Grandma had her traditional Turkey making
for the Grandkids!
And Much later in the Day,
after the Feast of Thanksgiving and naps
have been had
My Mom always pulls out Gingerbread Houses
for the Grandkids to Decorate!
And let me just clarify something,
My Mom MAKES these houses from scratch-
no kits.
She mixes the dough,
bakes them, cuts them, assembles them with icing
and has them all ready to decorate before we get there.
She goes totally out of her way
and makes one for Each Family!
She's Amazing.
In the Days after Thanksgiving-
while all the family is still there,
the lady-folk make homemade chocolates
and cry while we watch
"It's a Wonderful Life"
And the Men-folk and Boys
Play lots of rounds of Backyard Football
Always a Good Time being Thankful!
