Happy belated birthday! Mine was the 20th as well. The hardest part is that it was also the birthday of a very much loved and lost part of my life, a catahoula named Mojo. He was just the best bad dog ever.
I did not think Thanksgiving would ever be a highly emotional day for me. I'm Canadian by birth so my sentimental memories and milestones of change happen at a different time of the year, but after being down here close to twenty years it has come to have great meaning. One should never forget an opportunity to be thankful I guess.
I am interested in your oyster casserole recipe! That sounds good. Must be the ritz crackers.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
