I enjoyed your answers today.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Sunday my friend.
My Grandma always had Thanksgiving dinner at noon...I think so my Uncle and his family could go to their next meal, but my mom would have it in the afternoon. I am planning for noon so my mom can stay as long as she wants, but be able to get back home before dark. That is my thinking anyway for why I am doing noon. I love Thanksgiving. It is so chill at our house. This was a fun one. Loved your answers! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

yes to the last answer
ReplyDelete"When it is over" cracked me up. I hope you & yours have a great Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteGood answer for #15. Your story of your mother's pumpkin pudding reminded me of the cookies my father made once, which we had to drink out of a glass. We teased him about those for years.
ReplyDeleteLol... what's your favorite thing about Thanksgiving? When it's over.
ReplyDeleteLast answer was beautiful. We can hope!
I guess I’ll have to start a tradition. My traditions or rather our traditions passed with my mom and this is my first Thanksgiving alone ( little to no family and Covid )
