I love food way too much.
I love being with my extended family, which doesnt happen enough.
But this year is different.
I have to cook Dinner...Yuck.. But since my mom just had a heart attack, I said "I will do it" again Yuck...I am afraid it will turn out like Poor Mr. Beans Turkey....**But, I know to take off my jewlery.**
My next Yuck* This will most likely be the last thanksgiving with my old Uncle Joe....
He is an amazing person, one whom I look up too and is right up there on my hero list.
I really have only seen him on Easter and Thanksgiving for my entire life, but a couple of years ago, my husband said we should see him more.
So I have made it a point to do that. 
I say that this will most likely be the last time, because he is very sick, very old (88) and decided to live life to the fullest with Cancer instead of getting sick trying to fight it.
Its funny how we grow up, Look back on life, Ask questions and get answers we wernt ready for.
Last week I went and visited uncle Joe. We had a nice visit, looking at pictures, eating and just visiting.
Then I asked him a question. "Uncle Joe, I don't remember you being so full of it. You were always so quiet and reserved when you were at our house! What changed?
Uncle Joes answer "You, your Mom and sister were always so obnoxious that no one else could ever talk."

So, lets learn a little from the old Uncle Joe..
Sit back, Listen, Enjoy, Dont fret!!!
Who cares if the Turkey Burns, or even gets stuck on your head. Enjoy your family, Make a Gingerbread House like her with your kids
Live, Laugh, Love..and Pray..
None of us know how many Thanks Givings we have left...
