THANKSGIVING

[RISKAN HOPE FARM]

Happy Thanksgiving to all north of the 49th,you folks south of the 49th have to waite 5 or 6 more weeks. I give thanks when I see the sun rise everymorning but I have to wait an hour or so today.

Well, the sun's up here, shining on a fresh skiff of snow that fell overnight. The wife's busy getting food ready for turkey dinner tonight, the kids are watchin' cartoons, and I'm enjoying a cup of hot water and honey. Lots to be thankful for.

We went to my Aunt and Uncle's for supper last night. That's my Mom's side, and it's a big gathering when we all get together. Just as we pulled in their drive, my phone rang. It was a feedlot needing me to brand inspect cows going to Minnesota. Seems another brand inspector knew about it and was supposed to call me earlier in the day, and didn't. So I had to drop the wife and kids off and drive 50 miles to brand inspect 402 cows. I was real happy. When I got to the feedlot the owner apologized - it wasn't his fault - and I said, "Let's look at it this way, at least we can be thankful for having jobs to go to."

Happy Thanksgiving folks. :wink:

That is having a 'winning attitude, Pure Country'.
Good for you. Did they save some food for ya?

Yes ma'am. There's never any worry of running out at my Aunt Bonnie's place. If there's 50 coming, she could feed 100.

We had a fine feed here last night; fried chicken, ham, stuffing, taters, a few different salads, Grandma Edith's 'swebuck' buns, and of course my Mom's homemade noodles. We're trying to finish off the pumpkin pie tonight. :wink:

I don't think anybody was more thankful for a home cooked meal than Tyler-he kind of devoured everything my mother-in-law put out. we had a good weekend-fencing, hunting and putting in my yearlings from southern alberta-they don't like bears lol.
