Re: Let's have a virtual Thanksgiving Celebration
My favorite food for Thanksgiving is dressing--I'm Southern through and through so it's never been stuffing to me. And, it has to be made with cornbread. I have chemo coming up this Wednesday so not sure how I will feel on Thanksgiving this year but my daughter is cooking on Wednesday and will bring me leftovers on Thursday.
When my daughter was growing up it was always a tradition to start putting up the Xmas decorations on Thanksgiving night.
I am thankful for all the friends I've me on the board this year and wish everyone a peaceful and abundant Thanksgiving with family & friends.
