Day 28: I am thankful for memories. My cold has kept me from going to my in-laws big Thanksgiving feast and I will be having chicken noodle soup for lunch but look forward to a more traditional meal when my bride comes home. My in-laws have everyone over to their house, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, grandkids...EVERYONE! I will miss being there. Thanksgiving in the Wood house growing up meant all the traditional fixings. Mom got up early to cook the turkey and ham. Vegetables were from the garden we had out back, corn, potatoes & green beans...sweet potato fluff (YUM!!!) and rolls would round out the meal. Dessert meant some type of pie, chocolate, coconut, possibly pumpkin & pecan. Maybe a store bought pound cake, which was my dads favorite. Usually, my dad had been away hunting and would come in for the meal and then sometimes leave later that afternoon to go back hunting. Only this time, more than likely with me in tow when he left. I cherish those times I had with him. If you are lucky enough to have your family with you today, especially your parents, consider yourself blessed. Love on them lavishly! Happy Thanksgiving!!! Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever! -Psalms 118:1
