Full Plate Thursday Where The Greatest Cooks On The Planet Gather

Tuesday 5-21-13

I am preparing this Full Plate Thursday this afternoon from my Granddaughters house in Edmond, Oklahoma and watching my Granddaughter play with her toy's, and thinking how very very grateful I am that we are all here and safe.  Yesterday my husband and I were returning to the Dallas area from attending our Grandson's graduation in Kansas.  We knew the weather was getting very bad and we stopped at our Granddaughter Lauren's house located about 30 miles north of Moore, Oklahoma, we got to her house about 30 minutes before the F-5 Tornado hit Moore, Oklahoma, had we continued on the road we would have been in the storm.  There is so much devastation no words can describe and the human emotional toll is beyond what the heart can bear.  The outpouring of support is amazing and the strength of the people of Oklahoma is a source of hope and courage for our entire nation.  We will be going back to our cottage in the country tomorrow, but we will carry this event in our heart with the faces of the courageous people of Moore, Oklahoma.  I hope you will join me in your thoughts and prayers for the folks of Moore, Oklahoma.

Background Story

When we were young and just starting out in life sometimes we did not have a lot of money. Most of our friends were having to stretch the dollars at the end of the month just like us. My girlfriends and I decided that we would pool our food for some of the evening meals right before payday... the last week of the month. I have some of the fondest memories from those days. We would all bring our food together and we had some great food and great fellowship. We would get the food on the table and everything ready, someone would bless the food and then the hostess would say "come fill your plate".
