"Aroma flight provided by Meemaw's 'Sweet-tart 'N tasty' apple crumb surprise!"
Brings back memories…
OOH Yeah, “Ranger Rory” can wait when MeeMaw’s cookin’!
Ah yes the good old days that never were.
What’s the surprise?!?
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!.Childhood Thanksgivings..At five AM my mother startsTo roast the turkey brownShe wonders as she cooksIf there’s enough to go around.The china that’s kept out of reachIs brought out for the dayWhile waiting in my Sunday bestI’m careful at my play.The extra leaf is added onThe tablecloth is spreadThe forks on left, and spoons on rightIs what my mother said.The relatives start to arriveEach with a little treatAnd finally, at half past 3We all will take a seat.Adults sit at the table largeUs small ones have our ownWe say we can not wait untilWe all are also grown.The grown-ups’ wine, kids’ ginger-aleIs poured and passed aboutThe turkey and the fixingsHave all been taken out.Everything looks wonderfulI’m thinking with a sighWe bow our heads and give our thanksLike Thanksgivings gone by.And as I sit and think a bitOf Thanksgivings beforeI’m thankful for those gathered hereAnd thankful for much more..© “Amalthea Celebras” K.C.

Happy Thanksgiving.
Mee Maw is easily this strip’s best character..No wonder Jim secretly wants Rose to become her…
Happy Thanksgiving!
I want that recipe
I did. Waking up to delightful smells on Thanksgiving is one of my most wonderful memories. That and snuggling down under my grandma’s big quilt on Christmas Eve and listening to the adults laugh in the front room. Sweet memories!
Not sure I’d want something like a pie made with sweet-tarts.
I want a Meemaw!
