Thanksgiving Traditions
I remember going to my grandparents’ home every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas while growing up. My mom’s family was huge with her and five brothers, then all the kids. My grandmother with the help of my mom and the other wives made a fantastic Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings. We always had a huge turkey, stuffing, casserole dishes, potatoes, veggies, and desserts. This was one time during the year that I got to see most of my cousins, at least while we were all young.

Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving. Top Story - November 2023.
Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving D. A. Ratliff I came from a family of foodies. No, not those who loved a delicate soufflé, a creamy risotto, Beef Wellington, or a classic French pastry, but those who loved food—simple, well-cooked food. Any occasion in my grandmother’s Appalachian Mountain home involved food. My Granny Stella always kept a pot of beef stew, chicken and dumplings, or vegetable soup on the stove in case someone stopped by for a spell.

The Pink Bed
The bed, a quintessential piece of furniture, serves as an oasis of relaxation in the sanctuary of our homes. Its primary purpose is to provide a comfortable and inviting space where individuals can unwind and rejuvenate after a long day. With its soft mattress, plush pillows, and cozy blankets, the bed becomes a haven for rest and repose, offering a respite from the demands of daily life. As we sink into its embrace, the stresses of the day gradually melt away, and the body finds solace in the gentle contours of the mattress. The bed is not merely a piece of furniture; it transforms into a personal sanctuary where one can escape the hustle and bustle of the outside world, promoting mental and physical well-being through the simple act of relaxation.
