A
traditional Thanksgiving for our family resembles the same each year. We sleep in, get up and watch the Macy’s day parade. Get dressed up and I
make my taco salad, the same one I have made for the past 5 + years. This year
we added orange fluff. Then we go to Melinda’s for dinner at noon and eat
somewhere between 1 and 2:00. There are always lots of family members and lots
of food. Melinda is good in the kitchen and makes some of the best butter horn rolls and mashed potatoes. We feast on all the good food. Aside from immediate family, we had Suzy, Karla, Karly, Kellie, Duane,
Verna Mae, Lavern, Donaleen, and Doug. All the cousins have fun together. This year Libby left early to go to her boyfriends and Jossie and Torrie left with Troy for a cattle show. Cousin Karla was being extremely cautious with
her gluten free food, trying to avoid problems. She still ended up having multiple seizures. It is very
hard to see. She curls up in tight muscle spasms. Her hands and face get tight
and her eyes even roll back. It has become so common and there is nothing you
can do for her. Everyone just waits for it to pass. It definitely changed the mood in the house. While she rested the kids got out the game of Headbandz for some good laughs.
