And This Year's Thanksgiving Day Winners Are --

      Thanksgiving Day, I’m especially thankful for these three
           Apple Pie, Mom, and my Country

      As for the delicious stuffing, sweet potatoes, cranberry jelly, green beans
           brown rice, potato salad, vegetable salad, guacamole, turkey, venison …

          … and ALL THE REST ~ too numerous to mention






                   ~ Happy . Thanksgiving . Everyone ! ~   






              ~ and you too, Pangie, up there in Heaven ! ~




        [Can I cry now? I miss Pangie something terrible. ~ gw]

Hi Gershon, happy Thanksgiving weekend. Pangie was a proud grandmother and mom, besides a good poet. I always especially miss my late husband’s presence at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Shabbat Shalom. ~
