Re: Thanksgiving in the States and Canada

[Guest guest]

Oh Thanksgiving. The day we over eat and while the guys are " thinking " about

going out after the deer, we are studying the papers plotting our attack on the

stores.

This year will be a little different. We are having our big family dinner at my

sisters house. It will be her, Randy and the 2 girls, my mom & dad, me, Steve

and and for the first time my son , his wife Evangeline,

mother-in-law and of course Poppy Bill.

We will have Turkey with all the trimmings. Ham for those who don't like or want

turkey. Fresh corn, rolls, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes with marshmallows,

cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, 2 types of gravy, salad and potato salad,

and baked beans. Of course there will be so many deserts that most of them won't

get eaten but we always get together again to eat the left overs.

This will be a special year because my son will be leaving for Korea in a

few days so unless he gets leave it will be the last thanksgiving for up to 3

years.

We are having Christmas for him on Saturday and his birthday next week.

I have so much to be thankful for this year. A beautiful new daughter, good

health, and good friends here.

Thanks for being here for me.

p.s. We always say what we are thankful for after the prayer and before we eat.

LOVE IS IN ALL THINGS AND IN ALL THINGS IS LOVE

Subject: [ ] Thanksgiving in the States and Canada

All of us here in the States are getting ready for Thanksgiving this Thursday.

I am doing the good old turkey, mashed potatoes, creamed onions, carrots,

rutabaga, green bean casserole, corn, two wonderful loaves of bread, a black

olive panne and a walnut panne. I am also doing the black and green olives,

cranberry sauce, two kinds of pickles, stuffed celery and pumpkin pie and a

homemade cherry crisp with cherry vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. YUM!

There will be 10 of us. Lots of talking and picture taking. Both of our kids

and their families will be here this year. Last year we actually went to our

sons in laws for Thanksgiving. Christmas we go solo. Just the two of us and a

nice quiet time together. My husband takes the entire week off for vacation.

This week he has taken off Wednesday thru Friday and goes back next Monday. I

love it when he is home. What are the rest of you doing and eating this year?

Any of you going to be

alone? I have a couple friends in the PBCers who will be doing T. Day solo.

If you are, make yourself something special and share it with us. Do any of

you in other parts of the world celebrate a day such as ours? And>>>>>. a

note For ANNE VERTREES. Happy Thanksgiving and write me your phone number!

Blessings to all Joanne

A Week 'till Thanksgiving in Canada

" What are you doing for Thanksgiving, " I was asked yesterday. " It's next

weekend. " Back! I hadn't turned the calendar page over to glimpse October yet

and thought the holiday was two or more weeks away. I scrambled to write a list

of goodies for Thanksgiving dinner - sweet potatoes, mixed veggies and potatoes,

apple and pumpkin pies, cranberries, and as always, the roasted turkey with

gravy. When put together, it all resembles autumn with comforting orange, brown

and russet hues.

The first Thanksgiving in North America happened in 1578 in Newfoundland, when

the English explorer Frobisher gave thanks for arriving safely in the New

World. (After such a long ocean voyage, I'm sure he was very thankful for

reaching solid land.) It was also a European tradition to celebrate the harvest

in October.

Fêted in North America in October or November, Thanksgiving finally became a

proper national holiday in 1879, set for November 6th of each year. In 1957, the

Canadian Government reset the day to the second Monday of October, emphasizing

it as " a day of thanksgiving to almighty God for the bountiful harvest with

which Canada has been blessed. " The October date works well in Canada, since our

harvesting is done in early fall. Rather than harvest celebrations, Americans

observe Thanksgiving for the arrival and survival of the Pilgrims in 1621.

But the Americans aren't without celebration in October - the same date is

recognized as Columbus Day. The Spanish explorer Columbus is

acknowledged for arriving in North America in October, 1492.

Since Canadians are so closely linked to the United States, it's as if we get to

enjoy Thanksgiving twice. Get ready for the big American holiday on November

22nd this year.

I'm ready to start cooking. Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!

Now that I read your entire message, here is what is going down at our home.

Our son in law's Mom passed this past January, so we are going to try to do

things a bit different.

We are having lamb and ham, no turkey. Then, we will have cubed red potatoes

that are baked, jigglers for the babies ( unless we cannot make jigglers with

sugar free Jell-O-but hey...I will at least give it a try. We always have

asparagus, and there will be a green salad-----and best of all, Chebe bread!!!!!

Then, for dessert, we wanted to have something that would not be " too " appealing

to our 4 year old granddaughter who has Juvenile diabetes. She can only have 3

carbs at lunch. I bought some Schwan's light ice cream sandwiches that only has

1 carb for her dessert. That way, we are not having lots of pies around the

house. They are a lot to make this year for me, so the less work, the better.

So between the Celiac diet for me, and the Diabetes diet for the little one,

this year is GOING to be most simple.

The BEST thing about this Thanksgiving, is that next Friday, our granddaughter

is going to get her pump for her diabetes. We go to a class on the 5th to learn

how to do it, and the doctor inserts it and HOPEFULLY, this will help regulate

her sugar. She has been officially classified as a Brittle Diabetic....and we

have to do something quickly. I feel so badly for my daughter and son in law

because it is truly draining on them...they have to watch that the baby doesn't

drop too low in the night, so they don't even get a full night's sleep.

Thank so much for listening!

Another thankful note...my business is growing bit by bit. It has been very

exciting to meet so many different people. I am beginning to branch out and

that is good. Now, I not only take photos, but have completed 4 table books,

one calendar and have mugs with photos too.....it is really cool. So I don't

have to do anymore shopping for Christmas!

Everyone have a wonderful rest of the week!

Debby
