Nov. 22, 2007 - at home

We are celebrating Thanksgiving right now.  We had a big breakfast and then listened to the Barbara Rainey Thanksgiving Book on CD and the Thanksgiving music which my grandmother LOVED.  The story was great and when you are in school (public) they don't tell you that the people who came over on the Mayflower praised God, even though they went through so many bad things.  I don't remember anything about them having gone through 2 or 3 years of famine and sicknesses.  I didn't know that they had to have a ration of 5 kernels of corn.  This was something I'd never heard before--it's not that I've forgotten; I've just never heard of this.  If you don't celebrate traditions and hear the stories, it'll be your kids that forget or your grandkids.

We'll be having a bigger feast here in a little bit.  I think I just need to have 5 kernels of corn and be thankful.
