Fiction, Short Story
Lurena is a pioneer who recently moved to Utah with her family and is having their first Thanksgiving in Utah. She feels resentment towards Arabelle, who took up too much space on the wagon with her china dishes, forcing Lurena to leave hers behind. But as they eat together, she realizes that they are laying a foundation for their children and someday they will all have nice things again.
