When Trump was elected I was so upset I refused to read any more news in the morning ever again. I don't watch it on TV and if I go somewhere that it's on I leave the room. I'm not sure how I found Steve but I determined to read everyone on his blog list. My morning news now is Steve Reed's Shadow and Light and everyone that is listed there. Steve's garden, Olga's walks, and Mary Moon's chickens are the kind of news I'm into these days. <br />Thanksgiving! I am one of 15 children, an old man now but the 12th of the 15. Thanksgiving at our house when I was a kid was something to behold. We had a small farm in far eastern Oregon, near the Idaho border. We raised our own chickens and turkeys. A turkey that was hand raised could reach 30 lbs at the table, something you never see in the store and a task for mom to bake because finding a way to roast a bird that big was a challenge. She did it and everyone was fed. Hubbard squash from the garden and tons of russet potatoes were also served. Older brother's and sisters would often drive from hundreds of miles away to be there and bring with them cousins and nieces and nephews with new stories and ideas to share. We had a couple of milk cows and lots of cream. Mom would make eggnog from real whipped cream and tons of eggs. She used to say, “I'm a teetotaler!” but somehow a liberal dose of Old Grand-Dad would find it's way into that nog. As a young boy who was the size of a grown man, I remember what a treat that was. And the pies, oh heavens, don't take me there.<br />My dad was a millwright and a carpenter by trade. He used a material called Bird's Eye Pine to make a dinning room table. It was 10' long and almost 4' wide. When I was 10 years old they bought an abandon school house from the local school district that didn't use it anymore. That was home and that table fit right in there. On Thanksgiving day there wasn't an extra inch of that table that wasn't used, and there were side tables to catch the overflow.<br />Your Thanksgiving description reminded me of those days, so many years ago now. Thanks for the blog. And thanks to all the other bloggers who write and are on Steve's page. I'm 70 years old, (God, can you believe that?) and you help my days be bright. No, I don't miss all of that crap on the news at all nor the heated arguments that such broadcast would often bring. I'm glad that's all behind me now. It's an addiction I beat by turning my back on it.<br />Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.TJ Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18302345097335357731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611880284161230812.post-65470595997167424102019-11-22T23:52:21.520-08:002019-11-22T23:52:21.520-08:00I didn't see your earlier post, but politics i...I didn't see your earlier post, but politics is enough to make anyone pissy! It's a difficult and frustrating time and a difficult and frustrating topic.<br /><br />Dave and I have two Thanksgivings planned, actually -- we're going to dinner with one of his former colleagues on Thanksgiving day, and then having some colleagues over for a traditional dinner on that Saturday. Fortunately, Dave does the cooking -- but I do the cleanup!Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.com
