@retiredteacher , Hi there Carol. It is great that you have each other. On Thanksgiving, for years, I had an Orphan’s dinner. Anyone who didn’t have someone could come.

Once a friend brought his aging father who had just lost his wife. Another time a young lady offered to bring the potatoes. She showed up with a bag of them. So, we helped her learn how to peel and cook potatoes.

It was a joyous day until someone spilled a Bloody Mary on my grandmother’s tablecloth that took her 20 years to embroider. So we practiced forgiveness. There is lots to learn, to share, and to enjoy. Be at peace and with renewed health

What great stories about previous Thanksgivings, @artscaping. I especially like the one about the young lady who brought the sack of potatoes! I won't forget that one soon, I appreciate the smile for today.
