My Little Town 20111123: Thanksgiving Dinner
Those of you that read this regular series know that I am from Hackett, Arkansas, just a mile or so from the Oklahoma border, and just about 10 miles south of the Arkansas River. It was a redneck sort of place, and just zoom onto my previous posts to understand a bit about it.
Last week I described the lower floor of the house in which I grew up, and for this piece you need to read the descriptions of the kitchen and formal dining room. Most all of the activities around Thanksgiving were conducted there, although there was a fair amount of football watching as well, especially as I got older.
Other than more football, the activities were remarkably consistent over the years. Of course, faces changed as older relatives died and new ones were born, but any given year was almost identical to any other year.
