Friday Flash 55.....





I loved helping my Grandma at Thanksgiving.
Sure, I got the boring jobs...
Breaking up bread for the stuffing.
Grinding cranberries for the relish.
Rolling out the crusts for the Pumpkin and Mince-Meat Pie.
Peeling potatoes, cleaning out squash, observing
and learning all I could.
Alvena Margaret...Here's hoping I've done you proud!!



If you or anyone you know has written a Friday Flash 55
Please come tell The G-Man
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment...Then BOOK!!!
So from the most Stuffed Host from coast to coast...
Have a Kick Ass Week-End...Happy Thanksgiving!!!

    No way. I'm the first? Wow.

    Assuming I press 'send' quickly enough anyway.

    Cracking work G. I'll be up in, like, 2 minutes!

    That's how my dd learned to fold clothes, apparently. I never actually showed her anything.

    That sounds pretty awesome to me G! You are lucky to have been allowed to come in and learn as much as you did. I'd sit down to one of your meals any day as they always sound DELICIOUS!!

    Oh, and I do have one today too.

    I have no doubt you did your Grandma very proud! Happy Thanksgiving, Galen! xo

    Sounds lovely. I never lived close enough to my grandparents to be able to have Thanksgiving with them, so I had to learn from my Mom instead.

    With wonderful memories like that (they brought a tear to my eyes) I don't doubt for one minute that you had a great Thanksgiving. This may be my favorite of your 55s so far, G-Man.

    Not playing (anywhere) this holiday, but wanted to stop by and wish all the 55er's the best of Thanksgivings, especially that boy who's gone from Grandma's helper to chief cook and bottle washer, Mr G. Hope everyone enjoyed watching the Cowboys win by a hole in one yesterday. I won't mention what happened between the Packers and that other team. ;_)

    Glad for your heartwarming 55, thank you.Spent the holiday with my brother here at my house- very unusual. Today was our town craft fair and I worked at our Church selling books and lunch. Tonight we celebrate my hubby's Birthday, which means I better go wrap some gifts!
    Sorry no energy for a story this week hopefully I'll get back up to speed & style soon.Have a great weekend-
