Debbie loved local honey but would settle for the honey in the bear shaped containers. I started learning which places had the best local honey. She would go through a quart in 2 months. I am still nursing the final container I bought for her from Publix back in March as it doesn't expire. Honey is awesome for you, had multiple uses and my mom realized that. She would put it in her beverages, certain foods or would just eat it plain. Ironically she wasn't crazy about the kind with the honeycomb in it.
This of course is the first Thanksgiving without her and I'm keeping hers and my traditions alive. I am hosting a small Thanksgiving without her. I am making stuff that I know I can do and am outsourcing the rest. I will also be househopping per usual. I am even making turkey salad as my mom did the day after if I have enough turkey left. It didn't matter where me or my brother went, my mom always liked having her own Thanksgiving meal in her house.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all and I'm thankful for you all that are allowing me to share my mom's life, times and memories. Her spirit is felt daily.
