The CK Daily – Traditions at Meemaw’s Continue
Good Morning & Happy Tuesday!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that my family would be getting together for Thanksgiving dinner at my Meemaw’s house. Back during the height of the pandemic, we stopped doing family get-togethers at her house due to her age putting her in a high-risk group, and I think many of us subconsciously thought we’d spent our last holiday with her hosting. We were all a bit surprised when (at 86 years old) she said she wanted to host Thanksgiving this year, but it was certainly welcomed news as that was a family tradition we thought we had ”lost” so to speak.
It turned out to be a wonderful time at her house and I know she was so happy to have a home filled with family! Sadly, there were quite a few folks absent this year (ironically) due to being sick. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that she may want to host Christmas and hopefully we’ll all get another chance to be together under her roof!
How did you spend your Thanksgiving? I’d love to know!
