A Thanksgiving Reflection

Ever notice how short the time gets between November and January? It’s like it’s the first day of fall and then, whoosh! you’re ringing in the New Year. All in the blink of an eye.

You gonna eat that?

I call it “holiday daze.” It seems to occur every year. Like you’ve barely recovered from that humdinger of a July 4th picnic and now you’re cruising grocery aisles looking for turkey and cranberry sauce. This phenom seems more pronounced with the older than dirt crowd. (Don’t tell Mom I said that, okay? I’m still angling for dinner samples!)

Well. Dazed or not, one thing’s for sure: If it’s November, then The Holidays are just around the corner. And with them the memories of Thanksgiving Pasts. And stories. Lots and lots of stories.

So we thought now would be a good time for a blast from the past. We’re revisiting a Thanksgiving story Mom wrote about a hundred years ago. It’s called John Boy & Gentle Voices: A Thanksgiving Reflection.

Because most everyone has a holiday-ish story. Here’s one of ours.

Bon Appétit!

What’s your Thanksgiving story?

John Boy & Gentle Voices: A Thanksgiving Reflection

Mom is skipping around the kitchen today, merrily cooking up a storm! Everything smells de.li.cious! And I should know. Cuz I’m an expert in all things smellish. And delicious.

With this Thanksgiving thing just around the corner, Mom and I wanted to switch things up a bit. So here, at no extra charge, we’re featuring a little Thank You gift in the form of an original story. From our house to yours. To THANK YOU for being one of our most favorite people in the whole wide world (aka: blog readers. Oh yeah!)

Ready? Enjoy! More info. at the end of this luscious post!
