Excellent site Karen. I have saved this post for lots of reasons. One being the perfect pie crust recipe. I'm going to make two pies..........pumpkin and apple........and will hopefully get some left over turkey to make a turkey pot pie, from our hostess. I loved reading the old time recipes too. Just a neat, neat post. Have a safe trip tomorrow, and a Thanksgiving full of love and good times with family and friends.

Oh thank you Karen for my word "Determined". I am going to repeat that word to myself every morning this week, especially Wednesday when I start preparing my contribution to our Family Thanksgiving Dinner, which is potato salad, jelled cranberry sauce and also cranberries with pineapple bits salad. Also going to bake cookies for that cookie jar they should receive early this week which I ordered for them. I must stay determined to get this done! I loved reading Reflections today and got many smiles reading all the recipes. Pioneer Woman is always a great read as she is so entertaining. By the way, I have been ordering Christmas ornaments that we exchange in our Lighting the Way for Cancer Support for four years from Personalizationmall.com and they are such a great company to deal with. That is where I saw the family cookie jar and decided it would be a perfect little unique gift to send to my Grandson and his family for having our family dinner this year. They make ordering from them an easy complete service and are always available by phone or on line to discuss your order so no mistakes are made. Oooops, I know I am doing advertising for them, but when one finds a jewel of a company to order from with great employees, I believe in passing along good and honest information. Their prices are very good and they also offer discounts during the holidays. Karen I hope your trip to Dallas is a wonderful one and the weather cooperates for a beautiful sunny cool Thanksgiving Day. And, your foot is better as well. I also wish a HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY TO ALL THE GITS.

Happy Thank you. A good word for this week. Richard Roeper has another word: Perspective. Remember to put the thanks in Thanksgiving Crowded roads, airports, bad economy can make us forget November 26, 2008 BY RICHARD ROEPER Sun-Times Columnist If a nationwide Jumbotron could somehow keep a tally of all the ways in which we'll invoke God's name this week, something tells me there would be a higher number in the "name in vain" category than in the "glory and praise" ledger. You're stuck at the airport, and you damn God for the delays. You're out of work, and you ask what in God's name you did to deserve this. Your business is in turmoil, and you curse God for the state of the economy. You get into a family squabble before the turkey is even out of the oven, and you say, "Jesus! Why do I come here every year?!" And so it goes. I saw another God reference on Tuesday as I was walking across the Dearborn Street Bridge over the Chicago River. A homeless man. African American, around 60. Wrapped in a blanket, reading a book, the obligatory cup by his side. And a sign that read: GOD IS GOOD. Nobody thinks of himself as a cliche. It's a cliche, right? The homeless man huddled against the cold on Thanksgiving Week, giving thanks to God when it seems he has nothing for which to be thankful. But nobody thinks of himself as a cliche. That man isn't a cliche, just as the people who stopped to drop a coin or a dollar in his cup aren't cliches. As you rush off to do your pre-Thanksgiving errands, as you battle traffic, as you get ready for the madness at the airport -- whatever you're doing today -- I'm not going to say you don't have a right to lament some recent bit of a bad fortune. But I'll go ahead and indulge in the cliche of asking you to think about that man on the bridge, who seemingly has nothing but still wrote "GOD IS GOOD," maybe because he thinks it'll bring him more money, maybe because he believes it to be so. Things could be worse. Chin up. Happy Thanksgiving. <snip> suntimes.com
