Made 2 turkeys, Dad brought one the other day and I had one thawed. So I cooked both with dressing. Mash potatoes, gravy, scallop corn, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, and apple pie. Had my Grandmother who turned 100 last monday, Mom 75, Dad 86 and my husband and i which when calculated we equal 108. So sitting at the Dining room table our ages together came to 369 years. Boy that's old. I gave the other turkey to my dad to give to the people that live in the high rise he lives in down in Englewood. So last night he carved it up and took it around to all the people that didn't get any turkey or have a Thanksgiving. Love my Family. Kids all called and we all spoke to them Daughter on the video cam in Iowa with kids and we ate dinner while talking and enjoying them. Perfect day.
i hope you are recording some of your grandmother's stories. such a wealth of information to pass on.

I met a gal that was 104 once in a nursing home. She was the sweetest thing ever. We had gone to visit my ex's parents. By the time I left after 3 days, I had about 20 friends that I had to say goodbye to. This gal that was 104 was the cutest thing she kept telling me that she was 'waiting for god to take her home"
