*Henry, Miss Sarah* Henry, four turkeys please, as you will be hunting This early dawn..no less The hearth will be ready when you arrive from the Fields.. go Henry, it is time a wasting with us Marveling over these pumpkin delicasies Festive dining for Thanksgiving Day At the Antebellum Mansion of the Southern Blue Ridge Marvelous mahogany table embelished with ivory Rose sprays needle point tapestry inlay chairs Crystal chandeliers, candelabras dripping wax Roses of orange yellow purple hues sparkling Pheasant, fox hunters stoneware place settings Crystal decanters goblets finest silver *~ ~ ~* LadyAngebellum gracefully glides down the spiral staircase Royal blue silk gown adorned with white French lace Train of Royal blue silk Lady in waiting gently places Graceful charm emits in greeting guests Courtsey to her father mother sisters brothers Aunts uncles cousins friends, others arriving Lady Antebellum winks..Miss Sarah whispers there is aplenty All are seated, Lady Antebellum's father offers prayer We gather together to ask the Lord's blessings For the bounty we are about to partake..Amen Miss Sarah, Henry and the staff carry soup terrines Platters and the finest turkeys Henry proudly harvested Serving the guests was an honorable tradition A courtesy from Miss Sarah Henry's gracious smile Aft dining the ladies retired to the parlor for music Harpsicord played by Lady Antebellum Singing in her beautiful sorpano voice songs Of Southern ambiance All the men lingered in the library for a glass of port Relaxing conversation, perhaps a cigar The children all skipping to the spiral staircase Lady Antebellum's doll house room was the grandest Playing hours, they grew curious to what was on the third floor Twelve children quietly crept up the steps and opened The door..to their amazement..Christmas Presents.. Stacked to the ceiling! Shhhh! keep it our secret! Henry, Miss Sarah Mary Ann Biddinger (c)November 18, 2010 ~Thanksgiving Blessings to one and all from our family to yours~

Lovely, graceful words telling of a Thanksgiving past. Your words shine in this offering, Mary Ann. The eloquent writing you portray urges me to read a special book I have that I save for special occasions. Now, I must add your words of old to take out to view on another special occasion. A jewel, my friend. Just splendid!

Bubbling with the magic of cinema. Your descriptive powers sparkle in this one, Lady Mary Ann, as well as the emotional and aesthetic quality of the scenes. A fine write that enriches the reader, and, IMO, encourages thankfulness in a world that is becoming less and less so. A most abundant, and satisfying, holiday season from my family to yours. peace to you ... richard

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."

Rhett said that, not I, Mary Ann, not I. Oh no, I was attending the spectacle of Lady Angebellum's rag time . . .er . . . sumptious Thanksgiving fest, even serving the fine guest. I stayed with the women and the beautiful music, why go to a room crowed with males when I can have the company of the royal-like ladies of the countryside, and who knows what the day may bring? . . . Beautiful poetry this . . .
