Thanksgiving Holiday and 2010 Menu

This year, "Home for the Holidays" is a very appropriate theme for my new blog since we have recently moved Mom to her new home across the street, Gary is moving next door to me into Mom's old house the day before Thanksgiving, and the newlyweds (Dan & Margarita) have just returned from their honeymoon in Hawaii in time to join us for Thanksgiving. My kids and grandchildren will all be here, and I have a new daughter-in-law and a new granddaughter to celebrate with this year. Maybe Juliet will be able to try a few of the menu items for her very first Thanksgiving. Even with all the commotion and excitement from the moves and Mom recovering from her back injury, there's still no place like home for the holidays. So wherever your home may be, and wherever your loved ones are, I am wishing you and your family a happy and healthy holiday season.
