Thanksgiving--We have talked to the girls, both had great plans for the day. (they are 1200 miles away)
We have had a great Thankskgiving Lunch. We had a three pound butterball turkey breast, yams with marshmallows and brown sugar, cornbread dressing and gravy, cranberries, and rolls. Pumpkin pie for dessert. This was the easiest Thanksgiving meal I ever fixed, and just as easy to clean up.
My daughter just returned from her cruise through the Panama Canal, and she sent us a package of coffee, etc. from the tour to a coffee plantation. Really delicious goodies!
Jack's daughter is taking her mother to a steak house for lunch today, you can tell how traditional that generation is! lol
My daughter is going to a friend's home on one of the Indian Reservations in California. She is their expert cornbread maker using the secret recipe from her grandmother! lol My daughter is one-quarter Mescalero (sp) Indian, according to her father's family history.
The weather is beautiful day............cool, sunny and a little breezy. A great day to celebrate!
Peace at Marigold Country Home.

It does sound a wonderful day, plenty good food. Real coffee, I bet that went down well. Wondering if she'll share the secret of cornbread :) Seems a pleasant day is being had by all, am really glad. Happy Thanksgiving. Rache
I had to smile at your 21st Century American Thanksgiving. <grin> No matter how extended, it is still all about family! I loved the irony from the first Thanksgiving and Squanto and the Wampanoag Indians celebrating helping the Pilgrims to "survive" to your daughter visiting an Indian "reservation" in California for Thanksgiving. I've always wondered if Native Americans view the holiday the same way?
