Thanksgiving

The smell of turkey fills the house and the mind and tongue are consumed with memories and scents of holidays passed. The aroma is so familiar with images of Gramma in the kitchen basting that succulent bird and all the sides as it tingles taste buds with unbearable anticipation. The feast most promising with recaptured pictures, football games and stuffing, biscuits, cranberries, and mashed potatoes made with tender care and love to await family gathering. Those days seem long gone now, lost to past celebrations but the mind and heart remain full forever with laughter, joy, love and those heartfelt memories at Thanksgiving.
