They joined me with their home made goodies and specials which each family brought. One daughter-in-law always made the fruit salad loaded with fruit, nuts and whipped cream. One daughter made a cheese ball, another baked pies and one was talented in her relish dish. Once a son baked the turkey and dressing and one tried his hand at seasoning a pumpkin pie though he over did it with the cloves. We started out with small crowds, but soon grew in numbers. Once twenty-eight people sat down to eat Thanksgiving with me, my children, my grandchildren and a son's college friend. This year I will go to eat with my daughter's family, grandchildren and great grandchildren. I remember as a child in 1923 in Oklahoma my mother cooked a big turkey and all the things to go with ii. Everything was made from scratch. We raised almost all of our food as we lived on a farm near Ada, Oklahoma. We had many close kin and neighbors and there were quite a number of Choctaw Indians nearby. My mother always shared our garden with our Indian neighbors and that year she cooked extra food for them. My older brother delivered ii by horseback about a half mile from our home. She sent half of the turkey and other food. The main vegetable was always her turnips as no one ever cooked like my mom. Later, moving to New Mexico in 1925 we shared again with neighbors as we had moved to an isolated ranch near Malaga, New Mexico, called the "Harroun Ranch". The ranch was worked mostly with Mexican hired help and my dad was the straw boss. When the depression hit no one had any money, but mom was always ahead with her canning, big fryers and roasting chickens, eggs, butter and such. So that Thanksgiving she told my dad, "We have to get more meat for all these hungry people". The ranch hands had a diet of beans, chili, tortillas and on occasion goat or rabbit meat. One morning in 1928 my brother was trapping and caught two big coons that he skinned and kept the pelts for sale. We also had some goats, so together with barbecued goats, roasted coons and baked chicken my mother and brother cooked a Thanksgiving dinner never to be forgotten. We and our Mexican friends shared it all. 122 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
