Appalachian Thursday – Happy Thanksgiving!
Oh for those Thanksgivings gone by! The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade would be on TV, mom would be filling the house with the aroma of butter, sage, and turkey. I'd be watching out the window counting down the minutes until the cousins came . . . The kids' table. Tex...
