Thanksgiving Day!

Let me tell you about my Thanksgiving Day!

I woke up about 8am, got dressed, put things
together to take to Mom's house. Everything going
pretty good upto this point.  Took with me the
sweet potato cassrole that I had prepared the night before and off we went.  

Arrived at Mom's around 10:20am.  We cooked and peeled and cooked and stirred and then around 11:55 when we were to arrange everything to eat on the tables, someone had managed to put my cold sweet potato cassrole dish on the corner of a stove eye and then someone noticed that something was burning, it was my dish, when I went over to remove it from the eye, the whole dish exploded, glass went everywhere, thank goodness no one was hurt, but it went into the mashed potatoes I had peeled, sliced and mashed, into the green beans, okra, corn, though not all was lost I felt like it was my fault, with no one uttering a word but went busily about their business, cleaning up the shattered glass mess. It was a disaster.  I wanted to crawl under a rock.  Though it wasn't my fault, no one offered up to say that it wasn't.  I so wanted to talk with you at that very moment.  I have thought about you every second you have been gone. I love you and wish I could have spent this holiday weekend with you. This may sound crazy but I want to spend all my holidays from now on with you.  I hope your weekend was safe and enjoyable.  I missed you!
