The Wednesday of Thanksgiving week. Once a day to celebrate with dear friends consuming large amounts of alcohol. Today it’s a time to brine the bird and prep the sides.
Tomorrow morning I’ll wake up early and play the “December” album by George Winston. A tradition that started back in the eighties. The first song on the record is titled “Thanksgiving.”
Today is my Aunt Barb’s 80th birthday. I want to thank all of you that sent her a birthday card. Tomorrow will be my MIL’s first Thanksgiving without her dear husband. I want to thank all of you that sent prayers their way this last month.
These acts remind me of the things that I’m thankful for…. The straight F’s in life!
Most of you Chalkheads are familiar with them, but I’ll remind some of you new Chalkers..
FOUNDATION: FAITH, FAMILY and FRIENDS. This week we can add FOOD and FOOTBALL.
Today marks the sixtieth anniversary when Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of a man whose father and brother double crossed the Chicago Syndicate. I always wonder how different the 1960’s and 1970’s would have been if Nixon truly won the 1960 election.
Happy Thanksgiving Eve…. Bring on your traditions, but don’t use my last paragraph at the dinner table. You might offend someone who believed in Camelot.
I noticed that I put the smile on the sun, but I forgot the rays of shining light. That means all of us must provide the rays of life today. We must take it upon ourselves to lighten up the day.
