Folks Of Interest Thanksgiving dinner-- Poverty Flats style

When ever I read one of your home town threads it makes me want to move there =). Glad you had a great Thanksgiving.

 

Thanks for sharing a real slice of Americana! My thanksgiving started yesterday with my job/dept being saved and redirected to a newly created work and that I will be a grandfather soon!! My meal was an El Salvadorian style cooked turkey and some Filipino and traditional American sides!

 

Looks like y'all had a great time Paul thanks for sharing your day with us .. Happy thankgiving to all!

 

good on ya and god bless.

 

Thanks for sharing, Ain't LIFE great!!!!!

 

Paul...you hit another home run with both your post and approach to life.
Now on to the leftovers today!

 

Mike that is very cool and I am glad you mentioned that. Pheasant hunting is a big part of Thanksgiving tradition here on the Plains of Kansas and is a very important part of our tourism economy. Many people come home for Thanksgiving and go hunting every year as well as serious hunters from all over the country who come here for our ringneck pheasants.

 

Paul, thanks for that, I have always been curious as to what it was all about exactly. Glad you had a good holiday.
Doc.

 

.......Thanks for sharing........

 

You certainly live the good life, Happy Thanksgiving. Thanks for welcoming us into your wonderful home.

 

Looks great, what a wonderful and happy family you must have.

Thanks for posting and don't shop too hard today , NOT.

 

Thanks Vicki, actually I have to work today. My customers need their oxygen.

 

In early autumn of 1621, the 53 surviving Pilgrims celebrated their successful harvest, as was the English custom. During this time, "many of the Indians coming together with their great king M***asoit, with some ninety men."



Then during my childhood for me it was more like the Norman Rockwell painting of a Thanksgiving.


Thanksgiving has for some has turned into a Rockwell parody,,,



Whatever way you chose to enjoy your Thanksgiving,, a traditional one or just a big party,,take a moment to be thankful for what we have in this country,,freedom and the men and women that are in harms way to keep it free .HRP

 

Thanks for the pics, looked like a great day.

Yep, time to go to work, cows are hungry.

 

Thanks for posting the pics PF. My wife and I are over a thousand miles from her family and almost 2000 from mine, so it's nice to see families that actually get together to celebrate.

 

Thanks for sharing. Great story.

 

Paul,thanx for sharing your Thanksgiving gathering. Happy Birthday Lawrence. Was great to see Travis in Austin, his photos rock! So great to share the abundance with friends, I dig that gingerbread dessert also! Looking forward to seeing you in the spring!! Yer Pal, ~Sololobo~

 

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING! WOW! < hungry!

 

heck, I didn't even notice those old bikes. Now why would you have those dirty, stinky bikes in the house when guests, or a camera, are present?

 

Because I am proud of them and wanted to show them in my photos. Not something a "Pretty Boy" like you would understand !!!

 

Nice job,GOD BLESS AMERICA

 

thanks for clearing that up, now I understand.

while they appear to be nice bikes, they are a bit too "Fancy" for me. Besides, I would likely get my "Pants" caught in the chain.

 

Reminds me of the holidays spent on the plains when I was growing up.

I need to know where that T-shirt can be found!!

EDIT, I see it is a sheet set. Too bad.

 

Thanks for sharing, looks like good times with good people!

 

Now, why don't you tell the nice folks here about the motor bike YOU have displayed in your office?

 

I see you and your all had a happy thanksgiving. The big highlights on mine was watching from my window the Bear Family going to Grandma for Dinner.... heee

A family of 4 BEARS ( Mother, 2 Cubs and Father ) walking across the driveway and into the woods

 

That's what it's all about -- food and friends. We had a Canadian at our dinner yesterday, who was in her mid-20's and said it was her first American Thanksgiving ever, and who said it was nothing like a Canadian Thanksgiving, which isn't even in November !!

 

What a great post. It really shows what our thanksgiving tradition is all about. I am sure it is interesting for all those foreign H.A.M.B.ers.
What should be added is that during the thursday afternoon our cities and villages look like ghost towns with nearly no cars on the road. Not even Christmas is such a big family event.

Happy Holidays

I'm probably way off topic here.

Is the American Thanksgiving held on a particular day or date?

Traditionally here in rural Wales "Diolchgarwch" (Thanksgiving in Welsh) or Harvest Festival is held on the third Monday in October,during my child hood 60s/70s the smaller shops and family businesses would remain closed for the day an unofficial Bank Holiday so to speak, and people would take a day off work to attend church. This is no longer the case as these days most churches hold Thanksgiving service on the third Sunday.

Our celebration was similar to an old fashioned Sunday *** Christmas, a very good dinner followed by afternoon tea, all very enjoyable.

I bid you all a happy holiday, and appologise if my comments are deemed off topic.
