Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Isn’t Thanksgiving one of the best days of the year? I believe so! C’mon, what is there not to like? You got tons of great food to eat and it is one of the only days that if you go back for seconds or even thirds nobody really looks at you with that judging look. Most likely, they are right next to you scooping up some potatoes and gravy. Then there’s football all day. For those of you who don’t appreciate football like I do, bear with me for just a moment. Today is the one day that all the games are scheduled so that you can actually watch all of them-brilliant! OK, so there is really only one game really worth watching, but still, it sure is great! And not to mention that the Detroit Lions are actually in a game that matters for once! OK, enough of that. Besides all that, as if that wasn’t enough, you’ve got friends and family. Thanksgiving is one of the only days that you get to take a timeout from your life and sit back and hang out with friends or family that you would not normally be spending time with in a Thursday. And last but not least, you got pie! Yeah, you know you love it! Personally, I am not a big pie eater during the rest of the year, but today, I love pie! Pumpkin, pecan, apple, cherry, etc. Almost everybody likes some kind of pie and today is your day to let it be known! A bit overly dramatic? Sorry, I am just happy Thanksgiving is here again!
So, to close, Happy Thanksgiving to everybody in Mixed-up Minds and I hope it is as good as it should be!
I close with this, if there was one thing that you are truly thankful for this year, what would it be? For me, it is that I have a good place to spout on about Thanksgiving of all things. Otherwise I would just probably have this speech with myself in the car! I am also thankful for all my friends, especially the ones with mixed-up minds!

I’m truly thankful for all the times I had to write “essays” on what I was truly thankful for when I was in elementary school. That assignment never got old. Thanks elementary school teachers!
Yeah I agree about Thanksgiving. When I was a kid growing up in California, Turkey Day was always one of my favorite holidays of the year. I even liked it better than Christmas. The whole family got together, usually at my Mom & Dad” house. It was a big todo. And because it was California the wheather was usually wonderful even in November. It was an outdoor day. Sometimes my dad & uncles would even cook the turkey (and sometimes a ham with it) out in the back yard and all us kids would have a great day playing together out side. Hide and seek, bad mitten, volley ball,ping pong in the garage, even water fights and football. Yeah really, it was cool! We would eat on the front porch (the whole family) because our front porch was huge and really long. I loved it! Good times and good memories of good family times. Thanks for making me think about those wonderful memories.
Love ya
Dad
