Our Thanksgiving 2020

This is us.

Thanksgiving Day.

Easiest Thanksgiving I have ever had

thanks to our children.

They went way beyond!!!

Family is everything.

These Pioneer Woman mashed potatoes lead
 the way made by Maranda. 
This picture is before they were cooked. 
And they were heavenly.

 

You can't see our whole family

But Sweet Hunter lead a prayer over facetime,

while we were all in our separate houses.

He thanked the Lord for our family.

He thanked the Lord for all the food.

He prayed for his brother, Mike, and his wife, Glo.

He prayed for their healing.

He prayed for our country.

He prayed for answers in this sick world.

Amen.

Thanksgiving looked a little different this year.

We all fixed different things. 

I have never saw so much food.

Then they brought there food packaged up for each family and 

placed it on the porch with names on it.

This is at my daughter, Shannon's house once she got her food home.

Secret is she actually fixed the most!

She has grown up to be like I used to be.

This is what we all looked like on Thanksgiving day.

Kind of sad.

But while we are sharing our food with each other, 

Sweet Hunters brother, Mike is in the hospital with Covid.

His wife, our Sister in love, Glo is at home with Covid.

So how could we ever complain?

Covid is real and scary!

I sent this picture to Glo and she said it made her cry. 

They are both so sick.

Please pray for them.

Mandy made these Sweet potato casseroles.

Oh my!

Everything was so good.

This was our contribution. I made the dressing. 

Sweet Hunter deep fried the turkeys.

And I had a ham in one of my roasters.

There will be a video on the dressing and how to deep fry the turkeys

on our Youtube channel soon.

Link is below.

Macaroni and Cheese.

I think Mandy made this too.

This is a picture of all the different desserts we had.

In there somewhere is a special strawberry cake that we love to buy

from a tea room here in town.

It is the best strawberry cake ever.

Maranda blessed us all by buying it!!!

Sweet Hunters favorite.

Lord I love this man!

He had me at "Turkeys are ready!

You will have to go watch his video!

Link below to our you tube channel.

Here he is pulling one out of the fryer!

He was proud of his new turkey fryer from Walmart!

We all took our masks off for this picture but everybody was

still social distancing.

I am happy they are being so safe.

Covid is everywhere.

We are very proud of our family. 

We missed the ones that couldn't come.

Thanksgiving is not canceled.

Some Thanksgiving parties and

gatherings are canceled.

Thanksgiving is more important than ever.

It may be quieter.

It may be smaller.

It may be different but

if we take a moment to reflect

 on all the little things that we

are thankful for, 

this Thanksgiving could mean so much more.

Alone, we can do a little, but together we can do a lot.

We chose to sacrifice for the safety of our family.

And believe me this sacrifice was with love.

Some say...You weren't together though!

If you all knew how together we were!

We are family!!!!

Thank You Lord For Your Blessings On Me

Thanksgiving

We were so blessed to have Granny and my daddy again this year at my Mom's house.

Some of the food we had at Moms house. Yummy!


I don't know why I didn't take more pictures of everyone.
I must have been too busy eating.

Dessert Table!
Is that Mom's banana pudding? Wow I wish I had some of that now!
And Daddy made sweet potato pies! Yum! Yum!
Brother & Sweet Teen!
You can see more pictures of my family on my
Mom's blog!

My Sweet Granny!
My Sweet Mom!

Mom showing me and my sisters the quilt she is working on.

It is beautiful. I can't wait to see it finished.

We were so blessed to have our family all together for Thanksgiving.

We missed my son. He was home sick. We also missed my sister's husband Tom. He passed away last Christmas. Please keep my sister and her children in your prayers.

Happy Thanksgiving From Me & Granny!

I went over to Granny's the other day and found her making another quilt! Imagine that! Thats pretty good for a 96 year old, isn't it? She gets so into her sewing that sometimes she forgets that anyone is there. She looked up at me while I was taking this video but she is so used to seeing me with a camera in my hand she doesn't think anything of it. She looks as though she is confused on this video but this is just how she concentrates. She has her way of doing things and if anyone tries to tell her different it doesn't set well. If you watch really close you will see that she just finished a strip and then she was going to add it to the rest of the quilt. She always leaves a pc. of fabric under her needle. I noticed that she just left that last square under the needle as she picked up the other end and started sewing it on the quilt. It is really amazing watching her work. I thought she had got it tangled underneath and I started to help her but she figured it out. There isn't anything special on this video except for one thing........Granny! Did you notice her hair? She got a permanent! I just thought you all would enjoy watching her working on another quilt during this Thanksgiving holiday. Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Oh by the way, this quilt is already sold to my My Sweet Mom! A special thank you goes to Beth C. for sending Granny all this fabric!!!! You bloggers are great!

We had a great time at my Moms house. We were so sad because my sister Brenda and her family did not get to come. Her husband is having some major medical issues so they had to stay with him. Please keep them in your prayers as they face some very scary things. We don't get to see them enough anyway because they live out of town so we always look forward to the holidays. But we are hoping things will be better at Christmas.

But we did have a very special guest--My 95 year old Granny. Most of you know her through my blog. I don't think she has ever had Thanksgiving with us. I was so excited. It made my day. She even brought my mother a quilt that she had made. My mom was so thrilled. Granny really enjoyed herself. She shared with us how my mothers Mom, my other grandmother (who has already went home to be with the Lord) was her best friend. I just think that is so special. We were so blessed to have her there with us on this Thanksgiving. Can you tell that I am proud of my whole family? I am so thankful.

Thankful

Granny had a little bowl of turnips & a small bit of chicken & dumplings,a banana, and leftover cornbread & as she said a spirit filled prayer thanking the Lord for this little bit of food, I thought to myself how grateful we all ought to be. We all take so many things for granted. Granny has taught me a lot, but she has taught me most of all to be thankful for the little things.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." 1 Thess 5:18
