A Day of Thanks

     Tomorrow is a big holiday for the United States and a few other countries, when we meet with friends and loved ones to share a big meal and celebrate our blessings; as the first Americans shared their first harvest with Native Americans(the meal was a festival that lasted 3 days and the meats were not turkey, but lobster, swans, and seals. See link above fir more information) .  So, happy Thanksgiving to Clay Aiken, his family, and you. I'm very thankful for Clay and all of my readers.

                           What are your plans for the day tomorrow? Going out of town? I hope you have safe travels and a great Thanksgiving Day wherever you are, whether you are meeting with a large family or dining alone. Thanksgiving is going to be a little different mealwisefor me this year. I have gone on a low carb diet(again, began just before Halloween) to control my diabetes and maybe lose weight. I don't have to travel far to meet with my family. 

                            Are you getting ready for Christmas/holiday shopping this week or are you already done? If you are looking for wreaths and other decorations; please check out my sister-in-law's business, Branches and Bows (I'm not paid to advertise, just helping her out).  Here are a few examples of her holiday products;

                            Several years ago, Clay performed "Silver Bells" on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Do you remember seeing that performance? If not, here is your chance to see it again;

                  I am grateful to see an update on Jerome Bell, Clay's bodyguard and friend. One of my friends and fellow Claymates had shared a Facebook video of  Jerome and his brother at the accident site. Jerome was in a wheelchair, but he has come a long way since the forklift accident last year.
