We're having a great Thanksgiving dinner. Herb is eating leftover crock-pot roast, potatoes and carrots (for him, turkey is in the same category with meatloaf), while I'm chowing down on tuna mac.
Last year we were staying at a campground that put on a terrific potluck dinner with the turkeys furnished by campers who each agreed to host a table. The food was very good (but not as good as the church potlucks back home in Kentucky).
One of the officers of this membership campground stood, we thought, to offer a prayer. No deal. He suggested each of us take a few moments to "reflect." I couldn't help but echo our friend Steve Brown who once said of non-believers on this holiday, "They don't even know who to thank." We found it sad.

They're having a dinner here today. We decided we'd just have a day to ourselves. We've a great deal for which to be thankful. God has blessed us, undeserving as we are, with the opportunity to travel and enjoy this glorious country. As we travel, we see that the magnificence of His creation far outshines anything man has accomplished.

I loved the quote about nonbelievers not know who to thank. Sort of like being all dressed up and having no place to go. I will enjoy checking in on your blog now and then! Feel free to do the same with mine. It's easy to start a blog. The hard part is keeping up with it. I am into my third year and have thought of abandoning the blog more than once! Good luck and keep up the good work.
