Thanksgiving was definitely different this year. It was the second year I did not make turkey because last year Kenny made me promise I would go to Ken's for thanksgiving and we ate there. However, I did make candied yams and pumpkin pie last year, two of mine and Kenny's favorites. Vincent doesn't eat those. This year I made a ham for the first time in several years because it is Vincent's favorite. I haven't had to make it because Vincent was always able to eat it at his Grandpa Ken's. He's not much into turkey and stuffing,, so today was very non-traditional for me. I took over Kenny's job of mashing and preparing the potatoes. He's been doing it the last few years and he basted the turkey for me alot too. I taught him how to make stuffing and he stuffed the turkey the last time we made one. Year before last we made a turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas with all the trimmings. It was fairly fabulous-- I've always loved cooking these special meals for my family.

I took a pic of Kenny's favorite fork, which he would have used today if he was here-we would've had candies yams, stuffing, turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, celery with cream cheese and the Hawaiin rolls Vincent likes (we did have those today).
Anyway, I survived this one without my beloved Kenny. It could have been worse--even so, there were more than a few intensely grave moments. Somehow, I managed to get through them. I listened to the twilight soundtracks repeatedly and cried lots.
Until tomorrow...
