Theres something to be said for buying your Butterball at the market, as opposed to going to the farm to get your free range, “fresh” turkey!! Darn things have such a fowl attitude!!
the first thanksgiving
In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast which is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. This harvest meal has become a symbol of cooperation and interaction between English colonists and Native Americans.
Although this feast is considered by many to the very first Thanksgiving celebration, it was actually in keeping with a long tradition of celebrating the harvest and giving thanks for a successful bounty of crops. Native American groups throughout the Americas, including the Pueblo, Cherokee, Creek and many others organized harvest festivals, ceremonial dances, and other celebrations of thanks for centuries before the arrival of Europeans in North America.

A little recap to get things back on track by the ladies of HSII! Poor Hodge, no one believes what happened to him by the tidal marsh, I have a feeling the Doctor may just put the lug in a straight jacket and a padded room once he hears Hodges tale!
I’m aiming for January to be the month where HSII goes to 2 days per week, I’m thinking Mondays and Thursdays, but haven’t nailed that down yet! Stay tuned!

I can see where Hodge is coming from when looking at the current state of the GOP! It’s like they were sent adrift on an ever shrinking iceberg to nowhere! You’d think with the power of their mouthpiece (FOX NEWS), they’d have some sense of organization, direction, or a clue even! Maybe they are taking a cue from the various factions of the DNC?! Even with a majority in the house and senate, what have the Democrats accomplished exactly?!? Yeah, I’m bashing the system as a whole today, feel free to bash back!! *grin*
