Grandma Parsons

(1993 November)
I have so many Thanksgivings to remember.  The Fond du Lac relatives.  Aunt Lois stuffed the fowl and got it on the table etc. - then we sat after a brief blessing, and could hardly eat the good pie.  Then Grandma Parsons [d. 1923] and I washed up.  When the dishwater was thrown out, and we passed thru the dining room to join the others, here on the dining room table was a stack of scraped, dirty plates and cups and saucers, stacked with silver in a pile.  I said, "Well, I thot there were very few dishes," and she said,"Doll, I thot there was a whole lot!"  So we brot them all in the kitchen and started over.
