Thanksgiving

What a wonderful tradition & holiday we celebrate this week. I think Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays, this year is no exception. We will be just our family this year (sometimes we have extended family & friends) -- 4 generations together for the day.
It will be exciting to have our son visiting for several days, usually it's just a quick 1-day thing when he comes up or we go down there.
We are much smaller at this point than we have been in the past. I think we were up to 26-28 people or more & had to use the fellowship hall at the church, now we're just going to be 15 & can easily handle it at home. With people moving away & others vanishing for the cold winter months, we have definitely dwindled.
Of course there will be lots of food -- the usual fair, turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes & pumpkin pie...plus Dave is smoking another small turkey. Actually this has become a newer tradition the last several years, started I believe by brother-in-law Lew.
There's so much to be thankful for, but mostly I'd say family wins hands down!!!
