Good day to YOU, faithful reader!
I want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and the warmest wishes for a safe and happy holiday season! I will be keeping a level head this year and taking smaller portions of turkey, stuffing, salad, mashed potatoes, dumplings, cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, cherry pie, lemon meringue pie, apple pie, and of course, pumpkin pie! I’m feeling full just writing it!
Seeing as how I don’t know how or when my ancestors arrived on this continent, I can only dream about the pilgrims as they landed on Plymouth Rock after an arduous journey across the Atlantic Ocean to escape religious persecution. I imagine that my ancestors were of the indigenous variety, watching carefully from the woods as the strangers disembarked from their massive wooden ship.
I actually don’t have any Indigenous Peoples DNA in me, of that I am certain. I am descended from folks that lived in Ireland, Germany and Russia. I think they came over during the civil war or maybe even later and saw the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor!
Happy Thanksgiving to all and to all, take smaller bites!
TTFN!
