Thanksgiving Dinner

Traditional roast turkey
only way for me,
with old fashioned bread dressing
and mashed potatoes.
Rich gravy over 
each savored
bite.

JOyce, I think of all the traditional dinners described, yours was one of my favorites. I was ready to place this one higher and noticed you had not put the exclamation point at the end of it . That is signature epulaeryu. Congrats. well done.

Oh, Joyce, I do miss these traditional holiday meals with family. Your description of the turkey covered with gravy made my mouth water. (My sister will serve the lasagna first. LOL Old Tom takes a back seat.) I've missed hearing from you and want to wish you a great Thanksgiving, dear! Best wishes in the contest, too. Found something in St. Augustine for you. Love, Carolyn
