Thanksgiving Tradition

What’s your Thanksgiving tradition?  For me it’s having my entire family over to our house, completely gorging ourselves on way too much home-cooking, and then everyone falling asleep watching football all afternoon.  Occasionally, my brothers (both in their 40’s) will break out the remote control cars and have the Indy500 in the driveway. Ah, the memories! Now we have children who are about the age my brothers were when they first started the Indy tradition.  It’s like a step back in time watching all the fun.

Indeed, Thanksgiving is the time of year we slow down just a bit, reminisce and ponder about the things we cherish most.  Family, job security certainly come to mind…but surrounding all of those thoughts is home. I am grateful to have a wonderful home for my family.  We have created so many memories here in South Lakes that my children will cherish in years to come.  I wonder what they will remember most when they are in their 40’s.  Will it be grandma threatening to never give away Aunt Gladys' famous stuffing recipe, the dog stealing the turkey, or perhaps those Indy races in the front yard…

Happy Thanksgiving!
