I absolutely LOVE Thanksgiving....
Last year I wrote this Thankful post that pretty much sums up some of my feelings about the holiday. Though I am going to miss our very special Thanksgiving from last year when Casey and I made our first Thanksgiving feast (you can read that post here), we are thankful to be with my family this Thanksgiving.
One of the reasons I love Thanksgiving so much is this lady:
My grandma has always made the best Thanksgiving meal---she even killed her own turkeys when I was a kid---she means business! She makes the best dressing ever and I could go on and on about the food.....but what I love most is who she is. She's country and wears boggans. She doesn't do anything fancy with the big meal, but it's some of the best food ever. Her kitchen is small and we have to invent some crazy methods of fitting 14 people at the table, but we make it work.
She always says "It's not much" and "I hope you can find something you like" when the table is chock full of fresh vegetables and fixins that she prepared. She is incredibly humble and wise. I love to see her get tickled about things and to listen to her stories.
She is so special to me and I'm thankful that she's my grandma. I'm also thankful that I get to see her and the rest of my family this week.
