I PROMISE YOU I'LL NOT EAT ALL THE MASHED POTATO

 My Dearest Readers,  

I am going traveling over the next bit - a group of my close friends are going across California - to spend Thanksgiving with their Grandpa. I'm greatly looking forward to it and assure you I won't eat all the mashed potatoes. On that note, have a most blessed and joyful Thanksgiving. We are in Cali, where we are having a roasting hot winter, but may we eat and be merry like the men in uniform did in 1918 when New York City turned home to them.
