Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

It is the 28th of the month and it also is Thanksgiving Day, so I am here to welcome you to another round with the Calendar Girls!

Who are the Calendar Girls? We are a group of bloggers who want to have a place where friendships blossom, creativity abounds, and encouragement prevails! In keeping with that dream, this blog group has been created so we will have a place to interact and enjoy being fellow bloggers.  Jeanette decided on the theme for this month and here is the challenge for the group:  

We're going to go with VERY EASY and NO STRESS for the November theme, since we'll all be busy with Thanksgiving, etc.

Sooooooooooooooooo.... we'll go with Terry's suggestion: Thanksgiving theme......anything goes.......food, thank you card, Thanksgiving anything. And as a wee bit of extra fun, let's include Barb's suggestion: share a story of the best or worst food we have eaten on that day in the past. 
 
I inked up a Thanksgiving image that I got a couple of years ago and had not used it yet.  It was designed by one of the ladies who is in a thread I frequent on SCS called the SOTC--Sisterhood of the Traveling Stamps.  Lorie Souther created this cutie for Peachy Keen Stamps.

Here is the inside of my card: 

 

We were asked to share a story about our worst or best food we have eaten.  I love turkey--white meat only!  I also love stuffing and the special mashed potatoes that are made with sour cream and cream cheese--no calories there!  One of my favorite side dishes my SIL makes is sweet potato soufflé--it is a recipe that is made at The Fireside Dinner Theatre in Fort Atkinson, WI--which is two blocks from my brother's house.  Yum--and again, low calorie.......  So--you see that I really, really like most of the food that is served at our Thanksgiving meal--and I am trying really had to come up with a worst meal.  But--about 30 some years ago, I took a train trip with some friends to New Orleans.  We left that left the afternoon before Thanksgiving and we arrived late Thursday morning.  We found restaurant that had a traditional Thanksgiving dinner and the dressing had oysters in it.  I just could not eat that....................
