Thanksgiving Greetings

One year when I was a young girl (must have been about 10 or so) I decided to save up the room in my stomach for Thanksgiving dinner. Where I got THAT idea, I'll never know. I must have told my mother, Ella what I was up to because she was watching me very closely at the table. Not much got past our Mom!

Predictably, I overdid it although looking back on what we used to have on Thanksgiving, there wasn't much super heavy about it. I was a fan of "rice and grabies" (what one of my little brothers used to call rice and gravy, which is what the children who didn't like Mom's stuffing ate for a starch) - maybe all that gravy upset the applecart. Who knows? All I can say is that I didn't even come close to finishing dinner and a mad dash to the bathroom ensued! What a ninny!
