MIISRAEL
NOVEMBER 28TH
Tip: Carving of the turkey is usually done by the Father, or Eldest man ancestor of the family, followed by the next eldest gentleman and so on. If no men are in old enough at the family dinner,any guest Gentleman will do…then, for female family members only, the Eldest Southern Belle can do it- but, only -- for dinners where no men are present that are old enough. Sound like Southern Politeness!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Thanks Jen for being supportive! You always keep me smiling. For those who don't recognize what "chaps!" are it's another word old Southerners used for children.
