Today is the 400th anniversary of what we call the traditional Thanksgiving Feast in America (the Pilgrims held their feast sometime in autumn 1621.)
In honor of that, I have a short list poem called What I Like About Thanksgiving.
Family time
Feel so fine
Pumpkin pie
Air so dry
Pilgrim prayer
Smells in air
Cranberry
We're so merry
Turkey's roast
Cheery toast
Time to rest
Day so blessed
Wishing all of you a Happy Thanksgiving !!!
Yesterday was my 50th birthday. It is definitely hard to believe that many years have passed and I am a half century.
It was an awesome day. In school, I got cards from Nicole (my former partner who also turns 50 the day after me) and my team. I got a cake and a balloon. Emmie, Kiff, and Bri send balloons and candy as well...which led to my students singing to me.
At home, Emmie had an awesome sign outside for me marking my 50th day. Bri had a "Friends and Family" performance later that day. We had some great cake and a nice dinner at the 99. And, the kiddos left me some nice signs in the house.
Oh year, I also got a great new birthday tie (and a fun pin), which I wore throughout the day!
