When I was little we used to all go to my Aunt and Uncle's house in Des Moines. Both sets of my grandparents would be there, my great aunt Grace, my aunt and uncle and two cousins our family and my uncle's parents. I always had to sit at the kids table, but all my best Thanksgiving memories are there.
My Aunt usually bought a turkey precooked. One year the guy who was supposed to start the turkeys at the store overslept. The turkeys were started late and we waited hours and hours for the bird. Since most of my family is very impatient that was not an easy thing to do.
They had an old pocket pool table with the mesh leather pockets. We used to play for hours
I really miss my grandparents, Aunt Grace and especially my Aunt Priscilla and Uncle Jim. They have all passed away. I am Thankful I had the chance to know them, love them and spend time with them growing up.
