About Me
I am 36 years old. Happily married in 2000 to a wonderful man who I met on the internet. :o) I have a step-daughter who is soon to be married. I moved from Indiana to Georgia in 2000, talk about your culture shock! I'm by no means perfect, but I am striving to be the woman God would have me to be. Proverbs 31 is my goal, but I am still a work in progress. What is this blog About My Friends My Etsy Store My Links Archives

Wednesday, November 24, 2004 Thanksgiving is almost here.Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I have many things to be thankful for, but I am less than enthused for the day to get here. We are going to my mother-in-law's house, and they just do things different than my family. No, it's not that I don't like my husband's family, and I wouldn't want them to change the way they do things for me. With my family, the one that cooked the turkey was the one who's house we gathered at. This person would fix the turkey, dressing and several other dishes. In all we had about 20 people or more and everyone brought a dish or two or three. :o) We had our traditional foods that were a necessity every year like deviled eggs, cranberry salad, sweet potatoes, strawberry delight, apricot salad, pumpkin pie, and pecan pie. It was also fun to try other things that people would bring. It was a lot of work but I loved cooking with my mom. When we go to my mother-in-law's house she always says she doesn't need me to bring anything. In years past when I would say that I was going to bring something, when we got there she made that too, just in case. I think I am going to make a dessert to take. It's just not the same as being a part of the whole Thanksgiving Day preparation. Again, I don't want them to change the way they do things for me, they have their traditions too. It's just hard to be away from my mom during the holidays.I know, I'm a whiner. I get to feeling bad about being homesick when I think about all of the families that are missing loved ones because they are defending our country or died defending our country. I know the homesick feeling I feel does not even come close to that of the men and women who are in a strange land without any family or traditional celebration at all. At least I have family and a Thanksgiving meal. Shame on me. :o( |
