To all of our fellow Canadians we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving.

 

"Thanksgiving is also a legal holiday in Canada. Because Canada is north of the United States, its harvest comes earlier in the year. Accordingly, the Thanksgiving holiday falls earlier in Canada than in the United States. The Canadian Parliament set aside November 6 for annual Thanksgiving observances in 1879. In 1957 the date was shifted to an even earlier day, to the second Monday in October."

 

 

To all of our fellow Americans Happy Columbus Day.

    

"Stuffed Turkey"

 

 

Baby Bruno was sitting in his grandmother's kitchen,
watching her prepare the Thanksgiving meal.

 

"What are you doing?" Bruno asked.

 

"Oh, I'm just stuffing the turkey," his grandmother replied.

 

"That's cool!" Bruno said.
"Are you going to hang it next to the deer?"

"Thanksgiving Weather Forecast"

 

 

Turkeys will thaw in the morning, then warm in the oven to an afternoon high near 190F. The kitchen will turn hot and humid, and if you bother the cook, be ready for a severe squall or cold shoulder.
During the late afternoon and evening, the cold front of a knife will slice through the turkey, causing an accumulation of one to two inches on plates. Mashed potatoes will drift across one side while cranberry sauce creates slippery spots on the other. Please pass the gravy.
A weight watch and indigestion warning have been issued for the entire area, with increased stuffiness around the beltway. During the evening, the turkey will diminish and taper off to leftovers, dropping to a low of 34F in the refrigerator.
Looking ahead to Friday and Saturday, high pressure to eat sandwiches will be established. Flurries of leftovers can be expected both days with a 50 percent chance of scattered soup late in the day. We expect a warming trend where soup develops. By early next week, eating pressure will be low as the only wish left will be the bone.

 

 

"Just a Bit of Thanksgiving Humor"

 

 
Twas the night of Thanksgiving, But I just couldn't sleep.
I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep
The leftovers beckoned --- The dark meat and white,
But I fought the temptation with all of my might.

 

Tossing and turning with anticipation......
The thought of a snack became infatuation.....
So I raced to the kitchen, Flung open the door,
And gazed at the fridge full of goodies galore.
I gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes,
Pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes.
 
I felt myself swelling so plump and so round,
Till all of a sudden, I rose off the ground !!
 
I crashed through the ceiling.  Floating into the sky....
With a mouthfull of pudding and a handful of pie,
But I managed to yell as I sored past the trees.......
 
                       HAPPY EATING TO ALL !!
                  PASS THE CRANBERRIES PLEASE !!

 

Have a Happy Thanksgiving/Columbus Day
Dave and Barbara
