Thanksgiving

If anyone knows my family, they know that we invite a lot of people for Thanksgiving, whether we know them or not. At least that is the way we have celebrated it in the past. This coming Thursday, our school is fixing Thanksgiving for our school. We currently have 2o students in the high school, 22 students in the elementary school and 15 - 20 teachers / staff. Yes, if you got 60, you have added correctly. We are cooking for 60 people, even if some of them can only eat for a half person. Phil and I are on the list for baking 5 pies along with green bean casserole along with juice. The biggest problem is trying to figure out the baking situation. Currently we have 2 ovens that we can definitely use and perhaps a few others that belong to faculty on campus... Phil and I are cooking our pies tomorrow evening so we won't be fighting with the turkeys for space.

We are at least lucky enough that many of the people who are eating our Thanksgiving meal have never actually had Thanksgiving...

Happy Thanksgiving - your family enjoying your blogs. Dad/Mom Ferg.

One thing is for sure... if our pies and the turkey got in a fight, our pies would kick the turkey's butt.

Wish we could have sampled those pies. We had only four this year - an all time low. Cranberry/apple (Dad's personal favorite), cream, blueberry, and the old stand-by - apple!
Blessings to you during the Thanksgiving season!

Love, Mom
