THANKSGIVING!

It is a truly unique American holiday. A time for family and friends. A time to think about what really matters. It is a day for embracing our loved ones, tolerating those we don't care for, and counting our blessings while praying for the less fortunate among us. It is a time to love what we have and recognize how that connection sustains us in everyday life.

It is also time for the NFL (my Packers play at 11:30AM), glorious food like roasted turkey, pumpkin pie (from The Sanitary of course) and maybe some adult beverages. On this day, we say Thanks for everything to our respective God, and especially for being an American. Cheers and God bless us all!

LAST YEAR

On Thanksgiving 2006, I had the opportunity to introduce Mrs. LuLac's mother's cousins from Poland to Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant". To access last year's edition, here's the link, scroll down one to Edition #100. http://lulacpoliticaletter.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html

A POEM

Thanksgiving

For each new morning with its light,

For rest and shelter of the night,

For health and food,

For love and friends,

For everything

Thy goodness sends.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
