Our Favorite Thanksgiving
Today was a sunny, warm November Day in Tennessee. I couldn't resist jumping on the mower to mulch more leaves.
There is just something about the time you spend on a mower. It's a time to think and reflect.
Naturally, my thoughts went to Thanksgiving, which s only a couple of weeks away.
I began recalling the first Thanksgiving that Joe and I hosted his family in 2001 at Martin Farm. It seems so long ago.
I remember being very excited and very nervous at the same time. I was hoping this Thanksgiving Day at the farm would be a special time for each guest.
Did I mention I was clueless? I had never hosted Thanksgiving before!
The first place I went to check out was Google of course. I typed in the search bar "How to host Thanksgiving?".
Google did not fail me. In the search was a book titled, "Thanksgiving 101"! Ding Ding Ding! Sounded like just what I needed.
I quickly ordered the book and awaited for it to arrive.
This book was perfect. The author, Rick Rodgers, gave a complete daily outline with a step-by-step guide.
I followed it to a tee and the day was as perfect as perfect could possibly be for a first time Host/Hostess.
It will always be remembered as our "favorite" family Thanksgiving.
