Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving 2010 to all our family and friends. We are still recuperating from our vacation and to make the transition from cruise to normal life worse we had to drive up to South Dallas to pick up Cooper our dog. Erin and Brad dog sat for us and since they were driving to Oklahoma yesterday to spend Thanksgiving with Brad's family it was imperative that we get Cooper. Off we went heading North on I-45 and met Erin, Caden and Cooper at a Macdonalds in Corsicana. Believe it or not we arrived first and within five minutes Erin showed up. Erin let Cooper out of the car so "The Madge" could take him for a walk, and within 10 minutes he was in the backseat of my car. "The Madge", Erin and Caden all went into the Macdonalds for a little lunch however "The Madge" ordered hers to GO. So the dog transfer, visiting our daughter and grandson, getting lunch all took less than 15 minutes. Oh well, we will see them at Christmas.
This Thanksgiving is a our first to be without any family. So instead of "The Madge" buying the normal turkey we will have a slightly smaller bird (see below). This morning I read that Angelina Jolie hates Thanksgiving so much that she took her family out of the country, she says it celebrates what the white settlers did to the native Indians, the domination of one culture over another. Here's a thought Ms Jolie, while you are "out of America", stay out.
I have also included a link about the history of Thanksgiving.
