Kathy,
The first year my parents were divorced we were sooooo poor but like you my mom was just happy to be able to feel safe in her own home for the first time in many many years. Even if that home was an 8' x 10' travel trailer (don't ask how long we lived in that thing). Well with no $$ for child support and her making very little at her job we were basically set to just be thankful without all the dinner. We had many a white rice dinners and this looked to be one of those. We had even joked about shaping the rice into a turkey shape. Welllllllllll my mother somehow scraped together what she thought could get us maybe a small ham or turkey and a few sides. My brother and I were asked what sides we wanted the most. Well we so excited at the thought of getting to pick something that we couldn't decide. After much day dreaming and giggling about the foods we most wanted, that day is known fondly as the day of the Thanksgiving lasagna.

Kathy much love to you giving yourself the best Thanksgiving! ((hugs))
