For about thirty years, we've had angel eggs (same as 'devil'ed, but prefer angels to devils :) We always invite any holiday 'orphans' folks we know without family close. And since we live in NE TX, deer hunting early Thanksgiving Day and the day after is traditional as well! My husband and I are rearing 4 grandsons these past eleven years. The boys have Thanksgiving dinner with us then all go to their other grandmothers, so O'Pa and I have a traditional movie date/dates : ) during this time alone.Caryl McAdoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392468033143238490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-58507323350053306252013-11-29T01:36:26.497-05:002013-11-29T01:36:26.497-05:00Forgot to finish before submitting.

But I didn't know they had some of these veggies yet at the first Thanksgiving when the Indians taught the Pilgrims how to grow corn the year before. This sounded like a lot of food. I don't have a trivia for you, but did have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. My 4 children and their grandkids. So with three of my four children there was 3 families of four generations. The other daughter only has one child and no grandchildren yet. We always have a wonderful, loud day of fun. And, with each family bringing food, the food is bountiful at our gatherings. My favorite tying is to have a family get together, but doesn't happen too often. I had 3 greats in a period of 5 months. So i especially enjoyed watching all of the generations enjoying each other. Hope you had a wonderful day. maudemaxine@gmail.co,https://www.blogger.com/profile/11612461543816484090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-73705752001225485102013-11-27T08:12:33.023-05:002013-11-27T08:12:33.023-05:00Hi Winnie, Thank you for all the information about...Hi Winnie, Thank you for all the information about Thanksgiving. I never knew how it came to be the fourth Thursday of the month...now I know.<br /><br />Since most of our family lives far away, my 85 year old mom, my husband and I have been invited for the last six years our friend's house for Thanksgiving. They have eight children that are quickly growing (the youngest is now 15) and with all their extended family and friends there are usually about 28 to 35 of us gathered together to enjoy wonderful food and then we have a worship service in their great room later in the day. Giving thanks back to God is always a wonderful way to celebrate. Their home is huge and they've turned it into a Bed & Breakfast. We always have such a wonderful time.<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving!<br />Smiles & Blessings,<br />Cindy W.<br />countrybear52 AT yahoo DOT comCindy W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09030648905662071478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-85097487046678436122013-11-26T16:37:50.259-05:002013-11-26T16:37:50.259-05:00Sometimes, the small Thanksgiving are what we need...Sometimes, the small Thanksgiving are what we need.
