Thanksgiving

The first Thanksgiving, during which the Pilgrim colonists feasted with their Indian guests, lasted three days.
The idea was the same, but the menu was a bit different. They would have served entrees of cod, eel, clams and lobster. For their main course, they would have had wild turkey, but also seal, swan and eagle! (Now that's just outright un-American!)

Everyone has his or her favorite part of the turkey. I like white meat, my wife dark. Some prefer the turkey leg. I heard about an industrious turkey farmer who was always experimenting with breeding to perfect a better turkey. Because his family preferred the leg over any other part of the turkey, this brilliant farmer came up with a turkey that had six legs!

He was bragging about this to friends, and they asked, "Well, how did it taste?"
"I don't know," said the farmer. "I never could catch the darn thing!"

Sometimes with all the eating (and maybe football), we forget what Thanksgiving is all about.
We have so much to be thankful for in America today.

From our home to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!
