Many of you are reading this from a different place, Rome, perhaps Holland or even Switzerland. Therefore you most likely have no clue what Thanksgiving is. With a few twists here is my take on it.
This is a day that traditionally gives honor to the events early in our nations history when the Indians and white settlers joined as families to be thankful for the crops, food and friendship that existed between them. In essence to thank the Indians for help keeping them alive. Turkey was abundant then in the wild and still is the main food of choice for this holiday.
In the current time, the family still gathers to enjoy food, drink and company. There are a few changes, not too many Indians join in this holiday. TV, football and large sofas have replaced benches and outdoor tables. Not a day for dieters.
...or turkeys! Me? I'm about to defrost a big steak, then the sofa,etc.
Carpe diem, y'all!
This is my on line "Collector's Cabinet". It is non-profit and haphazard at best. I leave it to you to sort through and make sense of.The views are mine. The collection reflects some of my interests. But the material must be credited to the vast internet. Otherwise, I never would have been able to amass such a treasure trove. The purpose of this exercise is entertainment, naturally mine, but even more so yours. So, please let me know if anything strikes a chord with you.
