1st Thanksgiving in SC-

I have a lot to be thankful for this year. I have a roof over my head, clothes on my back to keep me warm, food in my belly to keep me full. I have friends who have become like family to us in our new home.
R bought a turkey last weekend and since we always have our own separate Thanksgiving early, since we normally would be going to his sister's on Turkey Day, we wanted to keep our own tradition alive. Plus once you see Thanksgiving decorations, and Food Network shows you start to get a craving for turkey, stuffing and gravy. He bought a 14lb turkey for the two of us. So I told him we can't eat that all by ourselves so we invited the MA gang over from apt. complex. We had a feast of course! Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, green beans w/mushrooms (his dad always made that for Thanksgiving). He also made his own bread/rolls which is our tradition. For all the mouths there, we still had plenty left. Our friends brought desserts and we all had plenty to eat. I think little Cohen ate only cake!
But the whole day was a blessing from God to say thank you for our blessings, our friends, our family who couldn't be there.
