We have so much to be grateful for, and I think of these things as we sit at the table to enjoy our meal. Tradition and family mean so much.

Mincemeat pie, white great-grandma’s china and grandma’s silver.

The table came from Georgie’s house. The dishes were my great-grandmother’s. The silver and crystal came from my grandmother. We use recipes from both sides of our families.

Thanksgiving is a also time for remembering for us. Walt’s mom passed on Thanksgiving day in 2004, so it’s always a little sad.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving.
