Darn right. In UK for the first time since WWl there was no soldier who had taken part in that war present at the memorial service. The last one had died earlier in the year.

However all who fell in the service of their country are remembered and the roll of honour continues to grow each year.

I just wish they could draw a line under the roll and say no more - ever.

Candied yams.

Ick...

I remember when I was about 5, they got me to try one. I puked.

hehe

I hope all that are celebrating have a good one today.

If you're not in the USA, then take it as an excuse to go out and celebrate SOMETHING or other! You can say, "Well, all of my online friends are doing it!"

Happy Thanksgiving everyone !!

P.S. I love growing Peppers one year my son was helping me dry some Hab's and had to take a leek you can guess what happened, next thing you know he jumped in the shower for about 20 minutes came out crying about how he got it on Captain Winky

Sister put the 1 year old Grandbaby in the tub tonight to wash dinner OFF of him, and goes to pour water over his head. She tells him, "Close your eyes, and hold on."

He grabs his little penis and...holds on to it!

Clean the mess, mop the floor, set the tables, etc.

I love Thanksgiving, I do believe it is my favorite holiday of the year.

Happy Turkey all,

ahhh, yams could never get over how much they look like something I left in the toilet.

The dressing and Yams were the hit of the meal, they just go together, today I plan on open face turkey sandwiches, bread, turkey, dressing, gravy, yams, cranberry sauce. mmmmmm good.

I do not want to think about food today. Had plenty to eat yesterday to last a few days. Plix had to work at the bank today so I got up and made breakfast sandwiches on whole wheat muffins with crispy bacon, fried eggs and some good sharp cheddar. Keep him fueled for Black Friday. Today the only thing I need to do is take my new prescription for cholesterol meds to the pharmacy.

There is a place for me at my best friend's family table. Always has been.

I just did not feel like it.

Well I got off the phone with another friend.

She wants me to come to her table.

Agoraphobia vs Temptation



The menu is tempting.

With the forgiveness of the bored - ( board )

I may keep y'all posted.

Best of the Season to All.

I am Thankful for such friends in my life.

Swanson's remain frozen.

At this time I am in Holiday Survival mode.

Looking forward to January 2 and it is all over.

Every year I have wanted a t-shirt that says "I Survived Holidays 2009". Now that I know that a bottle of wine can make my family enjoyable and the memories fuzzy I do not mind the holidays. Oh and I flame just a little.
