Honeybees Thanksgiving Memories

Gobble gobble. Don’t worry lil honeybee hasn’t lost her mind, just wanted to sound like a turkey. Since thanksgiv- ing will be here soon, I wanted to tell yens about thanksgiving dinners that went on when I was younger. As many of you know, my moms parents lived next door to me. My grandma went all out, make the rolls, pies, etc. Then she got smart and started to store buy a lot of the food. My uncle Ron would come for dinner, then leave as soon as he ate. My uncle Gary lived with them, and so did older half- brother. My uncle rick would also come over to eat, there was always a lot of conversions about random stuff, and of course watching the thanksgiving parade on TV. My grandmas half- brother sonny would often be there too. He was born mentally handicapped. He lived at a group home, so seeing him was a treat. The cranberry jello my grandma always made, nope, no thanks. That is when having pets was a good thing. Sonny had a guitar, and he would play it while Jeremy played the piano. My uncle Ron called them sonny and Jer Sadly, many of them have passed away, my uncle Gary passing away is the most recent one, new years day will be a year.

Most all stores often comes out with door buster sales for the early bird special to get consumers to there shop.

Me and My Family’s Thanksgiving Traditions

My family and I go over to my sister Angie’s place for Thanksgiving. She makes two stuffing filled turkeys: one tur- key’s a regular, and the other’s cooked in Guinness (an Irish stout), buttery and whippy mashed potatoes, yams, stuffing, din- ner rolls, , Jenny brings, my other sister brings over her little smokies, cookies, pies, Asti Summate, soda- pop, coffee and creamer, ext.

We pray before anything else, then feast after the prayer, pass the food and wine to each other, shares memories, laugh, but try not get into politics, religion, finances, or just anything that is negative and start an uproar. No need for a food fight, even though my family’s mature enough not to food fight.

TV is on in the other room if anyone wants to watch it and can change the station. There have been moments when a family member go and crash on my sister Angie’s couch from too much food and alcohol. It’s kind of funny.

In end of the Thanksgiving meal: we say our goodbyes, wish each other well, hug, say we love one another, go out the door with foods or beverages by choice, happy that we came and spend some time together, wanting all of us to met again and telling to be careful out there driving on the road if the weather is bad and roads are bad.

What are you and your family’s Thanksgiving traditions? I hope you, your families’, friends’, or even your pets’ have a nice Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!!!

We says our goodbyes, wish them well, tell them to be careful out driving on
