The day before Thanksgiving Day in Hermann ..... a time to begin slowing down for tomorrow's big Thanksgiving feast. A time to shoot the breeze with old friends and reflect upon our many blessings. A time to slow down and wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. The President has pardoned a turkey named 'Courage'. Another year has past.
An impromptu lunch with Mathew and Daniel down at Wings-A-Blazin'. And then a short stroll east on 4th Street to pick up a pumpkin pie and a pecan pie from John at Time For Pie. Tony and Gary happened to be there, so I grabbed a cup of coffee (the Daily Grind is my favorite). Tony says that although he got his wild turkey a few weeks ago, he's gonna leave it in the freezer and deep fry a domestic bird instead. Says they're fatter and taste better. Gary is headed into St. Louis two nights in a row to attend concerts and then he'll be drivin' all the way over to Kansas City to attend another concert. Sheesh! I hope Gary has stock in Exxon-Mobil!
Whatever you're doin' on this day before Thanksgiving, I hope you are beginning to "gear down" and relax. And I hope you have many things for which to be thankful this 2009 Thanksgiving weekend. I hope you are in good health. I hope you have friends to shoot the breeze with. And I hope you will be able to spend some quality time with loved ones this Thanksgiving weekend.
If you have your health, a few good friends and your loved ones nearby, you have everything. So, if you have all these things, take stock of your blessings and be thankful! Happy Thanksgiving, my friends!
