I hope that everyone had a very nice Thanksgiving. It’s the people not the food that one is thankful for. For friends fill us up with love, thoughtfulness and hope. I am Very Thankful for my Friends in my life who are there for me and fulfill my life. xoxo

Like Lorna, you had to face a family-centric holiday without a parent for the first time! Rhodester was there in ’93 so we understand your pain. Your father certainly seems special & I’m sorry you didn’t have more time with him. On a lighter note, entertain & enlighten is absolutely what we hope to do; thank you! Tis these thankful comments, along with a text or two, that made it a Happy Thanksgiving..

I’m thankful for finding blogs such as yours and Rhodester’s where I can go and be entertained and enlightened.

And I’m thankful for my family. It’s one member less this year — my father passed away in August. But I’m thankful that I had him in my life for 47 years. I wish it could have been 57 or 67 or 77, but I’m so thankful he was my father.

A very Happy Thanksgiving to the two of you!

Oh Sister, thank YOU! I love reading your blog and am thankful that there are such intelligent, caring people out there in the world like you. You and Rhodester deserve such a lovely Thanksgiving after what you've been through. I am so happy you get to have a really snazzy one at the Milton! Enjoy.

Intelligence & caring are crucial to all else, especially each other; I can't thank you enough for such a compliment! Thanx too for the tho't that we deserve a special holiday; it was special to not only have a traditional turkey meal but together, even if it didn't prove snazzy due to there being no busses. I'm thankful we have a Coco's next door & perhaps the lack of sweet potatoes is what left me room for the pie that was included with the meal..

I’m glad to be here, and thankful to have so many friends and family who are still here, too. I hope your day was lovely (mine was!).

I’m glad you’re back; you were missed.. Here’s to both of us sticking around!? (|_|*cheers*|_|)

I have the disadvantage of not being with friends or family this Thanksgiving, and I'm a little sad about that... But my work didn't provide me with the opportunity this year to do so... However, I simply adore your blogs and have added them to both of my own... It's certainly good to see writers who 'step out of the box' so to speak and express their feelings in new and unique ways, with color, flare and style.. As soon as Strange Corridor is approved I'll add you to my friends list and neighborhood there too like you are on Personal Paranoia... But I've already added both your sites to my pages... Your work is refreshing, open, honest and a joy to read... Keep up the good work and enjoy your holiday today! Peace and white light, Nick

Aside from the meal Rhodester & I snuck in before he went to work, I was alone & seldom do see my family this time of year. I hope your CHRISTmas proves more peopled tho' I can't say mine will. Your feedback & encouragement are ever so appreciated; thanx for the review!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all as well. So glad you'll actually be able to celebrate this year.

Thanx, my friend of old (not to be confused with old friend)! Please visit more often..

We've already had thanksgiving, and wrongly or rightly, it's not as festive an occasion in Canada, nor as important a one. We did get together as a family---the first time after Emily and Morgan's wedding, and had a wonderful dinner that Emily prepared. We were very mindful of the fact that it was the first Thanksgiving since my mother died, and spent some time recalling our departed loved ones as well as delighting in the presence of everyone, family and friends, who were able to be there with us. Specifically, on your thanksgiving, I'm grateful that you have a home and presumably are feeling more secure, I have been grateful every time I read your combined comments on life in exotic California, I will be grateful if the card, which I'd addressed and stamped and dropped, I think, on Bank Street while I was shopping for my granddaughters, reaches you. Have a wonderful holiday.

Go Em! Newly married & already hosting Thanksgiving!? I know your mother's heartfelt absence made the holiday bittersweet yet she was there in spirit. Tis a marvelous thing to share the memories of those we miss. Meanwhile, having our gratitude shared enhances it. I do hope the card finds its way but thank you so much for the tho't.
