    Cornucopia ~ Chapter 8 ~ Thanksgiving Day (Part One of Two)

     

    Shane left the door to the bedroom open, "Call me if you need anything."

     

    She then sat on the couch.  She had copied everything she could remember that her mother did when she was sick and had no idea if anything else should be done.

     

    She was also happy that her mother was really sick.  She was sick from germs, not other things.

    Helena stepped back, pleased with her handiwork. Helena had set the kitchen worktable with two place settings for an informal breakfast.  Coffee made from freshly ground beans, freshly squeezed orange juice in a milk-ware pitcher,   and cream in a creamer.  There was no need for a sugar bowl because mother and daughter both used artificial sweetener, and Helena had placed several packets on a small plate. Bagels in a napkin lined basket-lined and an assortment of spreads added to the display. She did not put out any of the orange marmalade that she had insisted her mother have for her visits.  She hated the stuff and was happy that, for one day at least, she was not going to pretend otherwise..

     

    She sat and waited for her mother to join her, with a strange anxious desire to please.

     

    Although Peggy was amazed when she saw what Helena had done, she hid her surprise.  The two shared another pleasant and tension free conversation, mostly about the meal they would soon start to prepare.

     

    At one point, Peggy finished chewing a piece of bagel and asked, "What is this?"

     

    "A poppyseed bagel, Mummy."

     

    "Of course, dear. What is the spread?"

     

    "Strawberry butter."

     

    "It is delicious.

    Irwin Fairbanks had pulled many many strings and had gotten his family tickets to watch the Thanksgiving Day parade from the grand bandstand in Herald Square in front of Macys.

     

    Since the streets were closed, the family walked through the crowded sidewalks towards their destination.  The thousands of moving people were squeezed between the storefronts and the parade goers already lining the parade route.  At times, the Fairbanks came to a complete stop and could make no progress.  Sharon began to panic as they brushed and were brushed against by the other people.  She grabbed Dana’s hand and insisted the family form a short chain.  The crowds, though, made her plan impractical.  Irwin told the family that if they got separated, they should meet at the corner of 45th Street and 7th Avenue.  Within minutes, Howie disappeared.

    1. What a pleasant surprise. Doesn’t matter if the story is out of sync with the calendar, you evoke the time anyway. Too bad Jenny couldn’t have inherited a little more sanity from Drew. You made me google McLean, but it was worth it.

    2. What a wonderful chapter with present day events along with past events intermingled within the scope of the post. Will the cast ever remember meeting each other as young teenagers? Can’t wait for the next post to appear for my reading pleasure.

    3. wasn’t expecting an update on this one but surprise surprise, I new I didn’t wake up at 5am for nothing. Thanks for the update looking forward the next part!!

    4. I’m thrilled your embarrassment did not outweigh your will to post!!! I still rate this my favorite holiday story (no matter what holiday it spills over on, lol). The Russ, Shane, and Tina triangle is breaking my heart. Your Alice-antics are priceless! Jenny as a rainbow blur is spot on, lol, and Dana’s thought bubbles are just delightful! Bette’s mission to re-unite mother and son is deeply moving. Please keep going, I’m good for the ride until St. Patrick’s Day!!! “Erin Go Bragh!” (or is it “Erin go braless”???) SK/C

    5. ”I’m very embarrassed…” – Dear S, if anyone complains we’ll bop’m for you! – re:Spotlight on Authors, Got a link to the pg? (I’ve done maybe 3 posts on other parts of this site; I get lost easily, apparently) – “Point symmetry”: I’m sorry, but my relatives do not allow me to play with pointy objects. – See? Some of us do read author’s notes!… ;-D

    6. Hey Ice Cream, so glad your choosing to continue over your embarrassment. My word if I didn’t anything becaue of embarrassment I wouldn’t do much.
