Thanksgiving

I have lived across the country from where I grew up for about seven years. I email and talk to my family a lot and so it isn't a big deal most of the year. For some reason, Thanksgiving is the time of year when I miss my family most. We would always get together for a huge family meal. Most of the cousins, aunts, uncles, Mom, Dad, brothers, sisters and Granny all are there. We talked, played and of course ATE! Granny makes this wonderful stuffing with mushrooms, bread crumbs, and chicken giblets. My husband thinks it is foul, but it is awesome. I miss that and the ham. Here we have really yummy turkey, but ham waits for Christmas. I think a lot of it is that Thanksgiving was the time of year that we always got together and spent a lot of time together. I really love my home and family here, but Thanksgiving time is still a bit tough for me.
