One of my favorite times as a child was family gatherings at Mamaw and PawPaw's house in Ropesville, Texas. There were tables groaning with roast turkey, dressing, candied yams, cream corn, green beans, cakes, pies, and jugs of sweetened ice tea. Best of all was the slew of cousins to play with. (I'm in the backrow between my grandparents.) Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I love this photo. I'm trying to find one of my own! Happy Thanksgiving! Coop and Irene
(check out that background!)
That photo captures a significant time for me. I had recently lost my grandparents (my grandmother died and I wasn't allowed to stay with my grandfather because we were not blood relatives). At the same time, I went to live with my father and to see his family more often. I loved having all those cousins!
