Well fellow dogs it's that time of year. I am thankful for so many things this year. My new wife. The fact that we are expecting our first child. Having a good job during the worst economy of my young life.

Today I took some food that was left over from a work party to a shelter. I saw a young woman there with three children and many other folks that were there for one reason or another. It just reminded me how lucky I am and how easy it could be for me or anyone else to be in their shoes.

While the folks at the shelter were just happy to have the leftovers that we took. I along with other are probably griping about "Black Friday" lines at the stores and hoping we can get the newest gizmo out this year (or just an extra 7-11 to put in the safe).

I just wanted to tell yall how lucky I feel to live in the greatest country on the planet and to lead the life I lead. I also want to tell yall how much I've enjoyed becoming a part of this board this year. You are all good folks and it has been a pleasure to get to know yall. So sincerely from my family to the rest of the Yard, Happy Thanksgiving. May you be as blessed as I am.

Right back at you BLD! I hope that you and your family have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I like Long hair music but my Wife hates it. Kids these days. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

We had baked ham, Sweet taters, boiled taters, green bean casserole, a real thick pulled turkey and tater stew, croissants, stove top stuffing and cherry delight (it's in the cookbook thread, just look for my avatar). Oh and Patty fixed a crock pot of pinto beans with Bacon and some ham flavoring.

Here was our REALLY good desert.

CHEESECAKE!
Not exactly, but GOOD!
One "Brick" of cream cheese, softened.
One tub (8oz) Cool whip or some sort of whipped topping.
One cup of sugar.
Blend it all together and ladle into a graham cracker crust. You don't really even have to get all the "Lumps" out if you don't want to.
Top with cherry/strawberry pie filling and stick in the frig for at least an hour.(If you can wait that long)! Umm Umm GOOD

We won't be eating until around 7 p.m. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

I hope that everyone is enjoying a great day! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
