Lots of vets have no family, if you know of one, throw them a hello, or a call, or a plate of food. Vets did a lot for this country, today is one of those days you can pay it back.

Okay. I can understand letting the holiday hold its own with the 'young folks' (as I am tired of all the 'celebratory' behavior myself) - but, is that all you mean by it? Mr. Frost, you have given us a 'fright' and we want to know you are alright! :)  Are you alright in mind, body, and spirit? (I remember you have suffered a great loss in your life. ARE YOU ALRIGHT, Sir?)

(And yes, I am going out on a limb here to ask this.)

Looks swell! I am not 'big' on the holiday these days anymore as I get older. Just want to sit and relax. (No company either today.)  Those 'birds' on the plate design 'threw' me for a moment as I tried to make out what 'sweet' they were.  (Chuckles.)

Morning CB...yes it's getting much the same with Christmas.. happy to keep it quiet and just family...

I know other families have huge get togethers and 9 times out of 10 ends up in arguments and fights...pass...

The birds on the plate are rainbow lorikeets...they come into the gumtrees out the front of my house they are after the nectar in the flowers..

They are noisy little buggars but I love hearing them and seeing them..

Never use to get them here only up Queensland but over the years they have moved South to Victoria...

Not my photo...

YOU'RE let down.  I miss the annual expat Thanksgiving dinner here that ended in 2019, but we DO celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival, which is similar in some ways to Thanksgiving.  In Canada it's about a month earlier because of the necessity of earlier harvesting.

As I have told you before, during my time in New Zealand with the US Antarctic Program, many of my Kiwi friends and co-workers tried to get me try vegemite but I just did not care for it and only tried it once. It is a acquired taste that you have to be raised with I guess.

I have awoken from my food and beer induced nap. We had deep fried turkey, ham, stuffing balls with gravy, green beans, last of the tomatoes from greenhouse, cold beer and plenty of it  and a very large tray of deviled eggs. Good time and short visits from people I don't see enough of. And enough leftovers for a few days.

Hope everybody had a good Thanksgiving
