thanksgiving day is here again


 a day to count your blessings,


that in itself,would be great..


if there wasn't so much stressing!!


 


clean the house and do the shopping


 bake those pies and whip the creme,


are you sure i gut this turkey?


 that to me is quite extreme!!


 


peel potatoes,mash with butter


 margarine for those who care,


to live beyond the xmas season


 butters better for those who dare!


 


get those sweet potatoes cooking


 boil the gizzard cook that heart,


don't forget those sprouts of brussels


 even though they make ya fart!


 


now the stuffing!cut those croutons


 add the vegies and the broth,


wash the china and the glasses


 don't forget the tablecloth!


 


extend the table..find some chairs


 did someone go and buy the wine????


for pitys sake... WAKE up gramma!!


 food is done it's almost time!


 


to find a seat and place your napkin


 say a prayer and start to pass,


all the food that i've been cooking


 did someone eat the turkeys ass?????????


 


now comes the clean up,lord please help me


 all that's left for me to say,


to family and to friends that matter


 is have a "happy turkey day"!!!!!


          happy and stress free day to all...mindy

At my sisters she wont let any of us wash a dish.We can help clear the table of food and the dishes.


She says "I'll do them later".And we all just hang out chit chatting.Way into the evening into the night.

Mindy, another great ode!


you captured all so well


You know I went through most of that


we had a great day, food was super...but later on I discovered the butternut squash still in the oven!


oh,well, there was so much we really didn't need it


and everyone brought something and all helped clean up


among my blessing I count you and all my WB buddies


hugs


Dutch
