My own "Significant Other" ...Thanks Dale! My own "Significant Other" prefers "Husband" over "Boyfriend." Thanksgiving dinner in Wrightsville sounds like a recipe for disaster ("Let's see, who was going to bring the poison?") , hope your Thanksgivings are disaster-free! (Come to think of it, a game of solitaire in Wrightsville is probably an ill omen!)

My great grandmother died on Thanksgiving, my father just afterwards. And the first year, 2010, after Mother died was a difficult one. But time seems to heal it all, at least a little. Glad the memory piece was helpful.Dale Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553503281187956955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-84345140655496625102012-11-20T07:27:15.149-05:002012-11-20T07:27:15.149-05:00Dale, I've been dreading Thanksgiving this yea...Dale, I've been dreading Thanksgiving this year. The first one without my mother and the anniversary of her fall that led to her death. Your wonderful ruminations put it all into perspective and brought back happy memories. I'm now looking forward to Thursday when about forty members of our family will gather and spend the day together, ending with a massive musical jam. My total responsibility is to invite my kids and grandchildren to be there (they've assured me they wouldn't miss it)and show up with at least two gigantic desserts. Thanks for sharing your memories and bringing mine back. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!Fran Rizerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08655783035179620991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-90923506550745225152012-11-20T03:41:35.474-05:002012-11-20T03:41:35.474-05:00That was a great laugh you gave us when the grandm...That was a great laugh you gave us when the grandma said, "Grace."
