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

hey mare you can always count on me for a celebratory ode. wow where did that word come from.LOL min
hi gab! sounds like you had two busy days. thats nice you are able to spend time with mom and friends and still enjoy the family on tg. so who got to eat the turkeys ass. LOL..you know i find that funny,cause that was my mothers favorite part.she would make sure that she got it extra crispy,basting it more then the turkey itself.to this day i dont know how she ate that part,its total fat and there were thanksgiving that her poor gallbladder couldnt tolerate it,but that didnt stop her,as each year,without hesitation,that was the first part she ate.min
oh man dutch,and i loveeeeee butternut squash, with brown sugar and butter,yummmmmm..that was great that everyone chipped in with food and help.thats the way to have a celebration. it gets to be much for one person! i know that for a fact,as my cheese cake kind of burned and the pumpkin pie was just so so,oh and i told you that i forgot the cole slaw,we ate that yesterday. but all in all,we had a wonderful tg celebration and from all the happy faces i saw,so did you!! hugs min
