May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey be plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have never a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!
Happy Thanksgiving

For the longest time I always thought TG was on the 27th of Nov.; don't know how I got that idea. It hasn't been all that long ago I learned it was on the last Thursday of Nov. Goes to show how much I hate holidays; I just hate how giddy everyone gets...

In this fast paced stressful world that we live in I hope everyone can find something to be thankful for today. I know I am thankful that my health is as good as it is, I have shelter and food, family, and freedom.
Those of you who have, are, or will be serving our country, I wish to thank you.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL.

My sister in Spain sent me this poem of thanksgiving for friends:


> LET US GIVE THANKS
>
> Let us give thanks for a bounty of people
> For children who are our second planting
> and though they grow like weeds
> and the wind too soon blows them away,
> May they forgive us our cultivation
> and remember fondly where their roots are.
>
> Let us give thanks:
> For generous friends, with hearts as big as hubbards
> and smiles as bright as their blossoms;
> For feisty friends as tart as apples;
> For continuous friends, who, like scallions and cucumbers,
> keep reminding us we've had them;
> For crotchety friends, as sour as rhubarb
> and as indestructible;
> For handsome friends, who are as gorgeous as eggplants
> and as elegant as a row of corn,
> and the others, as plain as potatoes and so good for you;
> For funny friends, who are as silly as Brussels sprouts
> and as amusing as Jerusalem artichokes,
> and serious friends, as complex as cauliflowers
> and as intricate as onions;
> For friends as unpretentious as cabbages,
> as subtle as summer squash,
> as persistent as parsley,
> as delightful as dill,
> as endless as zucchini,
> and who, like parsnips,
> can be counted on to see you throughout the winter;
> For old friends,
> nodding like sunflowers in the evening-time
> and young friends coming on as fast as radishes;
> For loving friends, who wind around us like tendrils
> and hold us, despite our blights, wilts, and witherings;
> And finally, for those friends now gone,
> like gardens past that have been harvested,
> but who fed us in their times
> that we might have life thereafter;
> For all these we give thanks.
>
> -- Max Coots

Turkey is in the oven

And in case you are wondering, Thanksgiving is the 4th Thursday of November, which is not necessarily the last Thursday, such as back in 2006 when Thanksgiving was on Nov 23 and the last Thursday was Nov 30.

My Thanksgiving 2010 contribution is a link to Joe Kosack's article about the history of wild turkey management in Pennsylvania. Many people today fail to realize how much been accomplished through wildlife management based upon sound science, habitat protection and respect for wildlife regulations.

My understanding of the first Harvest Festival here in the US did not involve turkey, but some fowl and deer!

I am still looking it up, but Emerald - Your turkey is safe with me!

Look forward to reading whatever you post!

My family feasted upon domesticated turkey this year although we have partaken of Pennsylvania wild turkeys on several occasions previously.

I bought a nice bottle of Grasă de Cotnari in Romania this summer and have been saving it for Thanksgiving. Sharing with the whole family so a hangover is not possible.

I liked reading all the wonderful posts, My Thanksgivings won't be as great as they were in the past, My son has moved to far to visit, on this holiday.

So I wish you all a great moment or two with your family.

and remember to find some humor in every day...
