[nfb-talk] Thanksgiving Memories

[Michael D. Barber]

This year, we're going to be at my sister-in-law and brother-in-law's place
in Florida and I get to try my first deep-fried turkey.  We're also going to
the florida State football game this Saturday.  They've rented a wheelchair
for me to use, which was really nice of them.  This is going to be a great
Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving was always fun when I was a kid because it meant coming home
from the school for the blind and being with my family.  The gatherings were
huge.

When I was a kid of 5 and 6 years old, we really did go to Grandma and
Grandpa's house Thanksgiving Day for turkey and all the trimmings.  Grandma
was always a really good cook anyway, but this was even better.  Before
dinner we would sit and watch one of the parades and then just relax.  In
the late nineties when my parents moved back up here and I was still in
Connecticut, I was invited by my girlfriend to spend Thanksgiving with her
and her family, they certainly made me feel at home.  When I lived in
Florida, our church had a Thanksgiving feast and you would usually bring a
dish or two, often a dessert, and it was great for those of us whose
families were far away.  It always made me thankful that I was either with
family or was usually invited somewhere.  Nobody, unless by choice, should
have to spend Thanksgiving by themselves, in my opinion.

Dear Memeaers,

Since it's Thanksgiving week I wanted to share some of my favorite
Thanksgiving memories.  I remember our first Thanksgiving in Boston when I
was a baby.  My family bought a big turkey to cook for our Thanksgiving
dinner.  They put me in my carseat which was right next to the turkey and it
was bigger than me.  I remember in first grade we had a Thanksgiving feast
with lots of food.  We also had one in my dird-grade class with lots of food
and deserts.  What are your favorite Thanksgiving memories? Hope to hear
from you soon.
