Thanksgiving as a teenager - the first call of business was to bundle up and go to the annual football game between Pleasantville and Ocean City - that was at 10AM. After the game, we would gather at my aunt's restuarant in Atlantic City, which she closed for the day. We would have upwards of 30-40 family members for the traditional feast. Even after I left the area, married and had kids, we always tried to be there. It was great fun. All of them are gone now, so the memories are great. Everyone have a wonderful, fun-filled Thanksgiving. Ginnie in Florida - it will even be cool here - 70. -----Original Message----- From: greenflash60@pocketmail.com [mailto:greenflash60@pocketmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2002 10:02 AM To: NJ-MEMORIES-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [NJ-Memories] THANKSGIVING DOT,HERE IS WE WILLBE DOING ON THANKSGIVING..FIRST LET ME SAY IT WILL BE VERY E-Z ON THE COOK, WE'LLBE GOING TO A REST.
