Sure, bring your favorite dish — that special pie or casserole. But don’t forget to bring a story of Thanksgiving past to share. The memories of your stories will last much longer than anything they eat this year! My favorite part about Thanksgiving is of course getting to see the kids, the grandkids, the aunts, uncles […]
