I went to the USA with my dad when I was 15. It was around Thanks giving. I asked my aunt what was thanks being given for. She said "Breaking away from you Brits!" Anyway, very nice post, many of us do indeed have much to be thankful for.

LOL! That's a good one. I think I would have liked your aunt :)

Thank you, Terry and we certainly do.

I wouldn't mind, but she was British herself! LOL. She'd married an American GI and emigrated to the USA after the war.

Thank you and it took decades to cultivate, sad to say. I'm glad I'm there now though. Thank you very much and do the same!
