Thanksgiving....Where Will You Be This Year?
We American's enjoy our annual Thanksgiving....lots of Football on the TV, Family and Friends in for a big Turkey Dinner with all the trimmings....perhaps a Fire in the Fireplace....and some fine Whisky later with Coffee.
I suppose we should take a minute and think of all those who cannot be with their Family again this Year. I shall....as I was one of them in the past.

Thanksgiving Cards sent to friends in the US ... My conscience is clear!
I'm staying home, it's their party. And good luck to those enjoying the weather up the East Coast.
Happy Turkey Day to y'all.

Not too far from the original Boston, but will be enjoying my turkey dinner nonetheless.

In London, with some diehard Yankees fans. Explaining to them between courses why the finest team in the AL East won it all this year! 
Happy Thanksgiving to one and all, and especially US forces far from home. God Bless!

We should give Thanks for the Blessings we enjoy.....one of them being Italian Wine, Rome, and Italian Women! Somehow Wokka Drivers seem to find themselves deserving of such bountiful gifts from on high!

Wokkadoctor, I am in Ottawa this week and I believe we had a record breaking 20 cm of snow yesterday (relative to the day of the year). Curious now as to whether we met today!!??

Deviating off centreline slightly; were any of you chaps aware of BBC News - Ten things you didn't know about Black Friday ?
Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year in the biggest economy in the world.

Was up at Sun Rise...fired up the Oven....did the Ham and Turkey, Yams, Cranberry-Apple Dish, Broccoli Casserole, Green Beans, (American) Baked Beans, Cranberry Sauce, Dinner Rolls, Pumpkin Pie, Cornbread, Apple Sauce, and Cranberry Sauce....brewed Ice Tea and did a pot of Coffee, set the table, served the Nosh, cleared the table, did two loads of dishes in the dish washer, scrubbed the Pots and Pans.....and served up the ice cream and Pie. Sisters offered to help as the last dish was put up into the cabinet. Replaced three ceiling Tiles that were trashed by the 12 year old grand nephew...trashed the broken set of Darts that were bent by the 6 Year Old Grand Nephew, Hoovered up the bird feathers from a Cat Trophy....and finally talked the last of the traumatized Cats into the house at almost Midnight.
I did give Thanks at Midnight that Thanksgiving is over....and the family have departed leaving Chez Sasless in Peace finally.
I am firmly convinced I would rather chew Tin Foil than do this again! I shall be traveling next Thanksgiving.....even if it is only the Motel Six in the next town!
