Two Be Missed

Me, with Grama and Uncle Don

Mojo sent out an email last week with a link to an article he read

in the New York Times.  In it, Jacques Pepin shared his 

feelings about Thanksgiving:

"I fell in love with Thanksgiving, and it has remained my 

favorite of all holidays- maybe because it makes no explicit

appeal to patriotism, politics, or a particular religion, and it's 

not centered on children, like the egg roll at Easter, or the

Santa Claus tradition, with its largess of Christmas presents.

There are no gifts to bestow on anyone, except the gift of 

being together and sharing nourishment."

For our family, it's also an opportunity to reminisce about

Thanksgivings past, and remember loved ones who are

no longer with us.  It is always a great day, and the one

we call ourfavorite.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
