Thankful Thursday and Happy Thanksgiving November 24, 2022

 

I am so thankful for the pilgrims who were 

so brave to sail on the Mayflower.

The Mayflower was an English ship 

that transported a group of English families,

 known today as the Pilgrims, 

from England to the New World in 1620.

Such courageous people.

Pilgrims and Natives gather to share meal.

Creator: Ferris, Jean Leon Gerome, 1863-1930, Artist

For many Americans, the Thanksgiving meal

 includes seasonal dishes such as roast turkey

 with stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes

 and pumpkin pie. 

The holiday dates back to November 1621, when the newly arrived Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Indians gathered at Plymouth for an autumn harvest feast, an event regarded as America’s “first Thanksgiving.” 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Magpie Tales #307 Quite Bareable

Painting by Cesar Santos


There once was a lass named Nancy
Who enjoyed posing in her panties
Said she with a smile
It's easier to beguile
Wearing lacy bits that are scanty

Not To Be Reproduced  ~ 1937

There once was a artist Magritte

His fabulous art was a treat

With a pipe in his hand

He said "Aint' life grand"

Being Son of Man can't be beat!
