13
00:00:32,389 --> 00:00:30,080
thanksgiving for the vanda highs when i

14
00:00:35,190 --> 00:00:32,399
was a child involved

15
00:00:38,069 --> 00:00:35,200
an early afternoon dinner big turkey of

16
00:00:40,790 --> 00:00:38,079
course cranberry sauce our cranberry

17
00:00:43,270 --> 00:00:40,800
sauce still had the lines from the can

18
00:00:45,190 --> 00:00:43,280
our stuffing was made out of meat so we

19
00:00:47,510 --> 00:00:45,200
had more meat stuffing inside of the

20
00:00:49,029 --> 00:00:47,520
turkey for some reason we had shrimp

21
00:00:50,630 --> 00:00:49,039
cocktail and that was one of my favorite

22
00:00:52,470 --> 00:00:50,640
parts and maybe that's traditional but i

23
00:00:54,069 --> 00:00:52,480
don't see it too often my favorite part

24
00:00:55,750 --> 00:00:54,079
which i could usually eat for breakfast

25
00:00:57,270 --> 00:00:55,760
over the next three days

26
00:00:59,029 --> 00:00:57,280
was the pumpkin pies my mom would

27
00:01:01,830 --> 00:00:59,039
normally make so my favorite part about

28
00:01:03,910 --> 00:01:01,840
thanksgiving nowadays is the peace and

29
00:01:05,429 --> 00:01:03,920
tranquility fall weather and the time to

30
00:01:07,510 --> 00:01:05,439
spend with other people that southern

31
00:01:09,429 --> 00:01:07,520

32
00:01:11,590 --> 00:01:09,439
time to be outside with friends i love

33

tranquility is it does give me a chance

37
00:01:21,590 --> 00:01:19,600
