I do like this time of year because in my many memory bank I have lots of good solid family times to rest back into along the way.
Sure, this year will be new and filled I think with memory making moments. There will be 12 (so far) at the table. I love a full table. I love having new people together. I look forward to good conversation and laughter.
I’m cooking in Raton and the kitchen there is different than the one here in ABQ. Neither of which have much counter space.
There is a song of the Civil War era that always comes to mind this time of year. “We will meet but we will miss him”. the next line is there will be one vacant chair…
And I recognize how many of the dear memory people won’t be with us. But their spirits remain. I’m looking forward to it.
So what if you could have the perfect table of people, who would be there? Just wondering. Who would be missing? Just remembering.
Happy Thanksgiving
