Turkey Day Tomorrow

Thanksgiving is tomorrow!

Our preparations continue for the meal of the year. I'm glad we don't have to go out and find our turkey like this man. Sure looks like he's in trouble. Our turkey is safe in the refrigerator thawing gently and waiting to be put in the oven early Thanksgiving morning.

Quote of the Day

Thanksgiving Day is a jewel, to set in the hearts of honest men;
but be careful that you do not take the day,
and leave out the gratitude.
~E.P. Powell

Jokes of the Day

A man and a friend are playing golf one day at their local golf course. One of the guys is about to chip onto the green when he sees a long funeral procession on the road next to the course. He stops in mid-swing, takes off his golf cap, closes his eyes, and bows down in prayer. His friend says, "Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen. You truly are a kind man." The man then replies, "Yeah, well we were married 35 years."
