Not Enough Chairs at the Table
There weren't enough chairs at the table this Thanksgiving, but I don't think anyone else noticed it. I mean, there were chairs for everyone that was expected: my mother-in-law of course, since it was her house! My sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews, me and my husband. We were all seated around the expanded wooden table in an assortment of dining, office, and folding chairs.

Thanksgiving Traditions
I remember going to my grandparents’ home every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas while growing up. My mom’s family was huge with her and five brothers, then all the kids. My grandmother with the help of my mom and the other wives made a fantastic Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings. We always had a huge turkey, stuffing, casserole dishes, potatoes, veggies, and desserts. This was one time during the year that I got to see most of my cousins, at least while we were all young.

THANKSGIVING The Peaceful Feastful Summit One Thursday morning in between the masquerading day celebrating gothic horror and life beginning in a manger, a lion style roaring message shook the frozen tundra sending the motor city packing, fearful about defending its border concerns.

Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving. Top Story - November 2023.
Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving D. A. Ratliff I came from a family of foodies. No, not those who loved a delicate soufflé, a creamy risotto, Beef Wellington, or a classic French pastry, but those who loved food—simple, well-cooked food. Any occasion in my grandmother’s Appalachian Mountain home involved food. My Granny Stella always kept a pot of beef stew, chicken and dumplings, or vegetable soup on the stove in case someone stopped by for a spell.
