Drinking water, oh how grateful I was that it again comes out of our taps.
Gratitude especially for the hospitality of my dear friend Martha, who has been part of my life for almost half a century!
Gratitude for the abundance of food which I enjoy.

Grateful for the living of 82 years and 3 months...a lot of memories!
The force behind the feast was always this woman...just changed her hair and shoes as the generations passed.
Or as a graphic artist depicted her...
I hope my adult children and adult grandchildren have learned the folly of the myth of the Pilgrims and Native people for the first Thanksgiving.

Delete...a day with a rainbow is something special to be thankful for. And so is running water. Have a Healthy and Happy Thanksgiving, Barbara.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I keep drinking water from the tap and am still a bit amazed. Happy Thanksgiving Tom!
DeleteThe Pilgrims and the Wampanoags did indeed share a harvest celebration together at Plymouth in fall 1621, but that moment got forgotten almost immediately, overwritten by the long history of the settlers’ attacks on their Indigenous neighbors. In 1841 a book that reprinted the early diaries and letters from the Plymouth colony recovered the story of that three-day celebration in which ninety Indigenous Americans and the English settlers shared fowl and deer.
