1- 8oz. Cool Whip
1- 3oz. box of jello- your choice of flavors (Keil's was orange, our family used strawberry a lot.)

Sprinkle jello over the fruit cocktail, stir and let it melt a little. Mix all ingredients together. Refrigerate.

Substitution: Mandarain oranges, crushed pineapple

"Saying Grace" by Norman Rockwell

This painting was created for the cover of The Saturday Evening Post’s 1951 Thanksgiving issue. It portrays a woman and a young boy saying grace in a crowded restaurant while the people around them glance in their direction. Rockwell was inspired to create this artwork by a reader of the magazine who saw a Mennonite family praying in a restaurant.

In 1955, the readers of The Saturday Evening Post voted Saying Grace as their favorite ever cover. The painting was sold for $46 million in an auction at Sotheby’s in December 2013. At that time, it set the record for the most expensive American painting ever sold at auction. The $46 million paid for Saying Grace remains the highest known price paid for a Norman Rockwell artwork.
