[Floyd McIntyre]

Hello there....I guess it must be a long time since this group was active, so long that I don't even remember it!!  But it might be me...I can't remember quite a few things lately!  Maybe someone can refresh my memory!  (Perhaps it was the one written by someone from New York?)

 

I am Margaret from Vermont.  I am married to a minister and I myself work as an instructional paraprofessional at our local middle school.  A challenging but rewarding job...   My last name is McIntyre, so the kids call me Mrs. Mac or even Mrs. Mac and Cheese!!   In my spare  (?)  time I raise Nubian goats and chickens, plus have  two geese who protect our  two large gardens from deer.  We also enjoy our berry patches, and fruit trees.  I love to be as self suffient as possible.  This Thanksgiving we are enjoying our two grown children being home and also our daughter-in-law.  Tomorrow my sister-in-law, her husband and two grown kids from CT will be joining us. I also find it very rewarding to serve as many home produced foods  in our meals as possible so tomorrow,  in addition to turkey ,dressing, gravy, peas, and a traditional cranberry fluff salad, I will be serving banana squash, potatoes, sweet potato bread, apple pie, raspberry pies and cider all from produce we harvested on our land . I'll also be serving fiddleheads especially for my sister-in-law who does not have access to them.  ( I wonder if you all know what they are?) God has been so good to us, a thought that really comes home when we see other having to endure famine, floods, droughts, fires, and wars. There are so, so many, many reasons to be thankful  at this time, the greatest of which is God's great  love for us all..   Have a blessed Thanksgiving everyone!
