It's almost Thanksgiving and my Dad is doing so well. He is eating more and even walking a little bit with the walker, gait belt and my help. It is such a joy to see how far he has come in such a short period of time. Since I have been home, he has requested: Goulash, seafood salad, pot roast, fish fry, salmon and too many other things I don't even remember! It is all homemade with the exception of the fish fry -- you have to go out on a Friday night and get some. It's one of the best things I like about Upstate New York. It's not a Friday night without a fish fry!
Speaking of Thanksgiving, my sister, her husband, my niece Jessica and her two daughters will be here. I'm going to make all homemade dinner with the Turkey: Stuffing, bread, mashed potatoes with gravy, cranberry relish, green bean casserole, apple and pumpkin pies! I enjoy cooking for my family and it is such a treat to be able to do so. It's a lot of work and preparation; however, it is for my family and after being on the road for 12+ hours, I want them to sit at the table and eat -- not have to worry about cooking.
I hope everyone out there has a great day with their family and friends and you don't forget what the day means. Be grateful in everything and to everything give praise, glory and honor to Jesus!
