Your posts are always entertaining and informative- I love them and am also quite nostalgic this morning- just found myself asking my mom (who died nine years ago) how she tucked the wings underneath so they wouldn’t get too brown- though sometimes she used cooking nails.

What I remember this morning is the peace on Thanksgiving in our house and our town. The only sounds were chit-chat and kitchen noises. No video games, no cell phones, no computers.

And most definitely no Black Friday induced madness!

Sigh..

How wonderful is that.. Who better to ask than Mom? It brings tears to my eyes.. Mom, I often find myself talking to my Mom, that I lost in a tragic way when she was much too young.. What added to the unexpected loss was that we were so far apart, and I was so wrapped up in my business and family life that I missed being with her while she was alive..

So my time is spent talking to her now, is about things that I would be saying and asking her if she was still here.. The pity is that I didn't do this all when I had the chance..

We are all guilty of the 20, 20 hindsight in life.. Those that are reading this, should take stock, and find the time to do the things that are really important NOW, and not live with the regrets that too often come in the way..

What better time than a Holiday, to reach out and touch someone that needs you as much as you need and love them.. NOW!!!
