Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! It has been quite some time since I have written in this blog, and it wasn't because I did not want to write, but I got thrown off path with other things going on in my life that time escaped me. I should be back now and more dedicated to the barn.
As you already know, I love this time of year and today is Thanksgiving! The day dedicated to giving thanks, loved ones, and FOOD. I cannot believe the holiday is here already. Time is flying very fast. Didn't I once say that this time of year flies by too fast, so relish it while you can? That is even more important today. I am attending a Thanksgiving potluck and have spent the last 16 hours trying to prep/cook and finally took a break to sit down and write before I get started on the green bean casserole. I am pretty spent from my food prep and cooking that I am pretty sure I am getting to the point where I might just want to nap through the rest of Thanksgiving. But then I would miss the food, and that would be downright un-American. I have to note, I have the television on in the background as I write this and that blasted Kars 4 Kids commercial came on TV. Couldn't they spare us on Thanksgiving of all days? My god. Way to ruin Thanksgiving. Talk about un-American. Well, my break is over and Nat King Cole just started playing, so that's my cue to meet with the beans and churn out this casserole.
Since Thanksgiving is a day for family, friends, and loved ones, I hope that wherever you are this Thanksgiving, that you are having a wonderful holiday. Eat lots, relax, have fun, and then eat some more. Soak in the joy of this day, this season, and being with those you care about. And if you are going out for Black Friday (or Thanksgiving since the retail world won't let employees enjoy the holiday), try not to get caught in any sort of stampede. Chances are if you are reading this, I care about you and want to see you again in one piece.
From me to you, have a very happy Thanksgiving.
Sincerely,
Carrie

That Thanksgiving was amazing, so much great food. The green bean casserole and candied yams were amazing. :D
