"Oh, the humanity!"

Happy Thanksgiving All!
Posted by:Hupaper Snaviper8366

#9  We will be setting out to travel this afternoon to friends, who have so graciously extended an invitation to us to have Thanksgiving Dinner with them.

I'm sure the Master of the house, will invite us to examine his new Cadillac and the Mistress her newly decorated home after dinner.

We on the other hand, will provide some wine and invite them to answer the age old question, " Our Zebra steeds, are they Black with White stripes or White with Black stripes ?"

#8  Thanks to all the 'Burgers on duty wherever you are, whether local law folks or military. You are the front lines and help us enjoy our freedoms.
(For the local law types, please ignore the grey Camry heading south on I-5 to Tacoma later this morning. nothing there of any importance....)

#6  Thanksgiving
by Edgar A. Guest (1881-1959)

Gettin' together to smile an' rejoice,
An' eatin' an' laughin' with folks of your choice;
An' kissin' the girls an' declarin' that they
Are growin' more beautiful day after day;
Chattin' an' braggin' a bit with the men,
Buildin' the old family circle again;
Livin' the wholesome an' old-fashioned cheer,
Just for awhile at the end of the year.

Greetings fly fast as we crowd through the door
And under the old roof we gather once more
Just as we did when the youngsters were small;
Mother's a little bit grayer, that's all.
Father's a little bit older, but still
Ready to romp an' to laugh with a will.
Here we are back at the table again
Tellin' our stories as women an' men.

Bowed are our heads for a moment in prayer;
Oh, but we're grateful an' glad to be there.
Home from the east land an' home from the west,
Home with the folks that are dearest an' best.
Out of the sham of the cities afar
We've come for a time to be just what we are.
Here we can talk of ourselves an' be frank,
Forgettin' position an' station an' rank.

Give me the end of the year an' its fun
When most of the plannin' an' toilin' is done;
Bring all the wanderers home to the nest,
Let me sit down with the ones I love best,
Hear the old voices still ringin' with song,
See the old faces unblemished by wrong,
See the old table with all of its chairs
An' I'll put soul in my Thanksgivin' prayers.

#5  Taking a few minutes to enjoy Rantburg over breakfast before facing the turkey and all, since we're definitely not going to Buffalo for Thanksgiving this year.

We have so much to be grateful for, and this place is one of the big ones. Thank you all for making Rqntburg the interesting, informative, warm, and snarky place that it is.

And especial thanks to Hupaper Snaviper8366, for starting this thread so perfectly, Fred's hand continues to heal, but we've been concentrating on the articles, and let the social side of things slide.
