Sister Lisa

ok, so ecw's sister lisa, and her husband, and her 3 children and her mother-in-law will be here for lunch in approximately 4.5 hours........i have yet to set up the table, or put away strewn magazines and books, but we are far from panic-time as i sit and blog..........they will stay only 3-4 hours, as they are on their way to ecw's brother james place near gatlinburg for the weekend...........brother james is in upstate ny at sister marilynn's house.................you get the picture........to my recollection, my brother has never been to ky for thanksgiving.............in my youth my family went to my grandmother's house in cleveland (of the million dollar houses........)......when i met up with my spouse-to-be i started to go to their thanksgiving in cincinnatti, which was held at either sister elaines or brother james or sister lisa's house......never at my mother-in-law's house...............we will have a bit of traditional fare from my side of the family.....relish tray that includes pickled beets, pickled onions, several kinds of pickled cucumbers and olives as well as our new southern fave- pickled okra.........the legacy of ecw's family to this year's thanksgiving? the sweet and sour red cabbage and the creamed spinach.........i had never tasted either until i became a hyphenated weber............so i am glad that sister lisa is coming, even if for a short while.................thanksgiving is a family event, and i am grateful to have family, both the crowns and the webers...........
