Just put the turkey in a salt solution and set it out on the back porch to brine overnight!

Tomorrow it's:

There are variations to this prayer (and sorry this is an ad, but it's pretty!) ...some say family, the home around us and other similar things. Picked the friends version because I'm thankful for SF friends!

Isn't that a shame, and he was so adorable in the show. He is a very talented director now.

I'll be alone. Last year it was at a nursing home with my mother who had 44 days left to live. This will be easier.

I am very interested to know more about Thanksgiving and what it represents to the Countries that celebrate this special time.
I am English and never been to the USA and been to Canada but not at this time of the year.

When does Thanksgiving commence? It sounds a lovely time and Christmas for us in the UK starts nearer the Day December 25th

A quiet day, just the two of us. Wishing you all a grand Thanksgiving!

It's always on the 4th Thursday of November, Crackerjack. This year, it falls on the 28th, like it did when my son was born.

The English settler's crop was succesful, so they offered prayers of thanksgiving and made a feast.

Interesting. My daughter was born on Thanksgiving day the 28th in 1963. I called her my Turkey Baby.

I called my son the same thing LOL! Today, we'll have B-Day as well as Thanksgiving.

Thank you Catlady for the link and info about this special day. Very interesting and factual especially when it starts. I live near Boston in the UK and a pleasant old town swathed in history and the River Witham flows from the town into the North Sea. The church is St Boltolph nicknamed The Stump and maybe because of the very tall spire.

Staying home and having a fairly simple ham, sweet potato, salad, and pumpkin pie dinner.

We are pretty busy with our new Bichons puppy. Selective memory made us forget what the first few days and nights are like when a new puppy joins the household.

Daisy is so unbelievably cute, and energetic. We are having a super thanksgiving!
