as i am sitting here enjoying a little bit of quiet time( curtis took Savannah with him to Burlington to pick up our friend who is joining us today)smelling the apple sauce cooking and getting ready to make the turkey, i am reminded of many thanksgivings at home. things that were so familiar like the smell of apple pie cooking or the turkey, listening to music while dad made his gravy, and just having the whole house filled with laughter and joy. it is a time for families to come together and be happy and eat lots of food. For many, it is that chance to see that favorite Aunt or Uncle who they don't see very often, of for parents to see their children who have married and moved away. it is a great excuse to get together don't you think?

Amanda, that is very well expressed and brought tears to my eyes.
I agree. Definitely a time to see family. I remember Dad making the gravy, too. Mom would always call him in to do that part. That and the cremed onions. mmm.
The one bad thing about our Thanksgiving feat this year was that, since we left the morning after, we didn't get a chance to eat any leftovers!
Did you really make homemade apple sauce? Wow. Meg and I made a few small batches this fall, too.
