Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Thanksgiving Day is a unique American holiday that brings together this nation of all faiths and cultural backgrounds around a common theme of thanks. Traditionally, we gather with family and friends to reflect on the year past, and give thanks for the blessings and freedoms we enjoy. It’s a time when we stop for a moment in our busy schedules to share bounty, food and fellowship.

We need to be mindful that for lots of Americans it has been a tough year. Hard times can serve to remind us to be more thankful, and if you have a chance, reach out to someone less fortunate this week.

Also, many of the Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors, and Marines are away from home on Thanksgiving Day. I ask that we all keep them in mind as we gather around the table on Thursday. Please include a thought of gratitude in your grace for the freedoms they defend, and those we enjoy as a result of their dedication and sacrifice.

I want to thank those who take the time to drop by and read my chicken scratchings, I appreciate every one of you and all of your comments. I also appreciate the chance this blog has given me to meet both literally and figuratively so many outstanding people, whom I may not always agree with, but that I know I can have an intelligent conversation with!!!

I learn something from y’all every day…

Take care, be safe, drive safe, and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

  1. I am thankful to our Lord for this day and for those who defend us.

    Happiest of Thanksgivings to you (until next year)!

  2. Happy Thanksgiving! (One of the few days of the year when we get to roast turkeys instead of voting for them.)

    Chess pie, chocolate Bundt cake, pumpkin and pecan bread…

  3. We didn’t roast either turkey. One was deep fried, the other cooked in a smoker. Of course, there are some politicians that I’d like to see deep-fried as well, but that’s a topic for another discussion!

    One thing I’m truly thankful for is my brothers-in-arms, who made my time in uniform the high point of my life, and made me a better person because I tried to live up to the example they set for me. I rarely succeeded, but the examples set a pretty high bar!

  4. Hey Old NFO;

    Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. We do enjoy reading your chicken scratching and various brain squeezings.
