On Thanksgiving Day we were busy teaching at school. That night we went to the mall and ate out at a restaurant, just the two of us. It was a fine first Thanksgiving as a married couple.
The next day, however, we got a surprise invitation from our principal and his wife to join their family for Thanksgiving dinner! Wow! We could not pass that up. So here we thought we were not having a traditional meal, but instead we had everything you could want!
We enjoyed fellowship with many people, plus we had the following traditional items:
Rolls, cranberry sauce, stuffing (incredible!), and a real turkey. The turkey had been given by some contacts at a local farm. I have actually seen the turkey, so I’m sure not many of you could say you once saw your dinner alive. It was a tough one but, our hostess said, probably more similar to the first turkeys served on the first Thanksgiving.
The fun part was when they said we were having pie for dessert. We do not have pumpkin, so this was more like squash pie. However, someone had just recently come from the U.S. and brought a packet of real dream whip! What a treat. I’m sure like all of you, we were stuffed. It was worth it.
