Happy Thanksgiving



 
On Thanksgiving Day we’re thankful for
Our blessings all year through,
For family we dearly love,
For good friends, old and new.
 
For sun to light and warm our days,
For stars that glow at night,
For trees of green and skies of blue,
And puffy clouds of white.
 
We’re grateful for our eyes that see
The beauty all around,
For arms to hug, and legs to walk,
And ears to hear each sound.
 
The list of all we’re grateful for
Would fill a great big book;
Our thankful hearts find new delights
Everywhere we look!

Happy Thanksgiving!! ....and remember...the Pilgrims filled up on CORN before a playful autumn afternoon of slaughtering redskins....

Good morning to the beautiful SHIRLEY and 2nd most beautiful toothless wonder!!

Lynn D said...

Morning glories!

Shirley you are all a glow.

Happy Thanksgiving Owls! I hope you have fantastic day!

Deedee I think I saw an ad last night for one of those "As Seen on TV" products.

Spray on teeth! :) Only 14.99 and you get a free can of spray on hair with it, but wait there's more! It also comes with a slack jawed yokel to help with instructions on use.

Waving at MO!!!

Zona said...

DEEDEE: LOL! And a big Blah Blah Blah back to you! ;D

MO: Enjoy the day with your family! I hope you brought Tupperware..you know..just as a little hint! ;)

LYNN: LOL! Let me know when they sell 'Memory in a can'..I'll take a couple cases of that!

MARY: Prayers being said! {{Hugs}}

HEIDI: I hope your computer is fixed soon!

BEAR: Freeze warning tonight! Get out your woolies! :D

DIANNE & CAROL: SWAK!

Mr Z is getting the turkey ready..I don't do cold dead nubby fowl..and then I'm making a certain apple crisp recipe that came to me at the end of the world all the way from Wisconsin! Thanks again Jodi!

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Maureen said...

LYNN...OMG...SPRAY ON TOOTH...OMG!!! That was hilarious!

ZONA...what...NO MONKEY BREAD? LOL! No Tupperware to Go, but maybe some ziplocks!

Maureen said...

ZONA...Memory in a can...I need that. I just looked down and realized I forgot to polish the nails on my right hand! OY!

Mary/MI said...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
Just a quick peek in here and then I have to peel taters.

Shirley you are the #1 pretty gobbler today!!!

DeeDee,a dyslectic lahb,lahb,lahb to you too!!

MO,You cracked me up! "I need that."I forgot to polish the nails on my right hand!!"

Zona, thanks :)

LynnD~You just spoiled my Christmas surprise for DeeDee!!

Have a great day everyone!!!

East Bay J said...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Shirley, you are radiant and stunning!

Glad your new cpap machine is working out for you!

Mo, my grandma used to carry a bunch of zip locks in her big purse. She would fill them to the brim with leftovers.

She would take the leftover bread and butter, even little packets of jam or jelly from restaurants!

She went through the depression, and never lost the feeling of maybe having to go without.

We are going to be guests today, so no prep work here. I am going to make a spiced pumpkin bread to take along.

Hope everyone has a nice holiday!

Maureen said...

MARY...both hands are now polished! I hope I remember to shower before I go!

EBJ... It's nice to be a guest! My cousin actually buys take out containers for people to fill with leftovers. I just recently found out a friend of ours, who is NOT hurting for money, takes baggies to buffets and slyly fills them for her dog! Do you eat turkey? I think I remember you being a vegetarian.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone..

and yes Shirley.. you certainly are the prettiest...

:)

night.owls.sb said...

I am spending the day at home.. the Italian Stallions are coming over. Sarah is very busy cooking, and I am watching.. lol

They are coming over a bit early this year, so we can have some pickings.. which would be a dinner in itself..

I am going to make the antipasto, so we can all dig in before Mr Turkey arrives..

night.owls.sb said...

I was thinking of Sal this morning and how he loved holidays. It is my first holiday without him, seems so weird, he has been out of the office since April, and each day I think of him..

It makes me reflect on my health and am so grateful for it.. I try so hard to take care of myself, cause truly you just never know..

night.owls.sb said...

Hope everyone has a great day!

Jodi said...

Just got done with work. We were crazy busy this morning!!! Gotta go change and head over to my in-laws.

Maureen said...

CAROL...Nice to see you. The holidays are always hard when someone you love is missing from them. But I am glad to read you are taking care of YOU. Are you having tripe today?

Nails done.

Just_Lin said...

Thanksgiving Blessings to all the HOoters! I am lucky enough to be here in my hometown with my mom and brother.

Mary. I'll be keeping you in my prayers.

whabbear said...

I couldn't say it any better than Barb did! Thanks be to having gotten to know all the owls!

Carol, great poem!

whabbear said...

Oh, forgot to say...

Zona: Yikes! We're going to friends for Thanksgiving dinner, and unlike most Americans, they're actually serving dinner... at dinnertime! We're not heading over until 6 PM.

The bad news... we'll be eating outside on their patio. Yes, we'll be bringing the woolies!

DeeDee said...

Carol...it is a beautiful poem...I've just been putting on the happy face for 5 days and I am so ready just to take care of myself that at times I feel like I will explode....

My blah blah didn't have anything to do with your lovely words...just me.

wanted to clarify...

DeeDee said...

thats very funny Lynn....made me laugh.....spray on teeth...AND a slack jawed yokel!!! lol

I have driver whittling a tooth from balsa wood that I can hopefully wedge in there....that flipper doesn't work very well....

Yes Jodi...in that avatar...her zorch is on fire and she is running to find relief....sort of the first pilgrim whore....

bonachichi said...

DeeDee, weren't YOU the first pilgrim whore? And speaking of that, HOW did you say you "lost" your tooth?

I hope everyone had a great day today!

Maureen said...

Good evening feathered friends!

Back home and stuffed like a turkey! Actually, I was very conservative. I don't know if it was the lemonade, but I have 4 alarm heartburn.

And the leftovers are stowed away until tomorrow.

DEE DEE...I hailed you as I ate my corn souffle!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Maureen dear, DeeDee doesn't want you to hail her, she wants you to PAY her!

Maureen said...

SHIRLEY...I didn't buy the corn or make the souffle, so I think I am exempt from payment

Dianne/Denver said...

Hi--just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Thansgiving and I'm so glad to know all of you!!

Maureen said...

Today truly is Thanksgiving...DIANNE is back!! YAY!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Maureen Maureen Maureen, you silly girl! All you have to do is mention it and you owe her money. Haven't you been paying attention? tsk! tsk!

night.owls.sb said...

Mo.. I am stuffed to.. yuck.. I feel like I ate so much, but really did not.. I think its all the carbs, they just load ya down..

Double Yuck!

:)

Maureen said...

SHIRLEY SHIRLEY SHIRLEY...as they say, you can't get blood from a stone. Not even DEE DEE can.

CAROL...thanks for the warning...gas mask in place!

Maureen said...

Jodi said...

MO - My Dad's favorite poem....!!!

Jodi said...

Heading back to bed.....I hope someone opens a window, or lights a candle or SOMETHING!!!

Dianne/Denver said...

If we light a candle there could be a huge fire.

Happy Birthday Bebbi!!!

Dianne/Denver said...

MARY: Saying prayers for you. I also hope you enjoy your upcoming vacation and be honest with my quarter this time!

Just_Lin said...

Gee, and I thought I was the only one who farted in here. It was the damn turkey. Gasses you up and makes you fall asleep.

Just_Lin said...

Bebbi. Happy Birthday! We better air this place out before we light any birthday candles.

Just_Lin said...

Shirley. I really enjoyed your blog yesterday. Unfortunately, I never remember what the price of anything is and I'm not at home. I found it interesting to read everyone's answers.

Just_Lin said...

Sweet dreams, HOoters. It's early for me to be hitting the hay but it's been a long day of overeating and I'm exhausted. I hope everyone had a lovely day to day. Xoxo
