Thanksgiving Day

by

Lydia Maria Child

Over the river, and through the wood,
  To grandfather’s house we go;
       The horse knows the way
       To carry the sleigh
  Through the white and drifted snow.

Over the river, and through the wood—
  Oh, how the wind does blow!
       It stings the toes
       And bites the nose
  As over the ground we go.

Over the river, and through the wood,
  To have a first-rate play.
       Hear the bells ring
       “Ting-a-ling-ding”,
  Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day!

Over the river, and through the wood
  Trot fast, my dapple-gray!
       Spring over the ground,
       Like a hunting-hound!
  For this is Thanksgiving Day.

Over the river, and through the wood,
  And straight through the barn-yard gate.
       We seem to go
       Extremely slow,—
  It is so hard to wait!

Over the river and through the wood—
  Now grandmother’s cap I spy!
       Hurrah for the fun!
       Is the pudding done?
  Hurrah for the pumpkin-pie!

For those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. I love this holiday and look forward to the big meal we’ll be eating later today.

Have a great Thursday!

Until next time…

Today is the day we celebrate the independence day of the United States. It’s a day for fireworks, barbeque, and family. This year is a little different because everything is closed, but the feelings are the same. It’s a great day to celebrate America!

For those of you who live in the States, Happy 4th!

I hope each of you has a great day of good food, family and friends.

Until next time…

“May your troubles be less. And your blessings be more. And nothing but happiness come through your door.” – Irish Blessing
I hope all of you enjoy St. Patty’s Day today. This is a big holiday in the United States. Chicago dyes rivers green for the celebration. In my hometown of Port Huron, Michigan, there is an event called the “Pub Crawl”. The city provides transportation to participants who visit select bars and pubs throughout the day. Some pubs will have games to play while others will have live music. There will be lots of corn beef and cabbage, Shepard’s pie, and green-colored beer and mixed drinks to enjoy.
I’m looking forward to the NCAA championship between the University of Michigan and Michigan State today. It should be a great game.
That’s it for today, folks. Have a great St. Patrick’s Day!
Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Happy Birthday, Dad

Picture: My Dad and me posing for a picture at my nephew’s HS graduation.

My Dad’s birthday is today. He is 80 years old. It’s hard to believe my Dad was born in 1939. He’s seen a lot. Now he’s enjoying his retirement reading, playing with his toys (tools), and reading. He’s also picked up watching YouTube. It’s funny how all of us adapt to new things. He likes the randomness of YouTube and the lack of commercials.

If any of you still watch public TV you know how many commercials interrupt the programming. I can’t stand watching normal TV anymore. I am spoiled by Netflix, Vudu, and Amazon Prime Video.

Well, we’re headed out for a nice steak to wrap up Dad’s birthday celebration.

Have a great Sunday, folks!

Until next time…

Dave
