And have all you like as long as you live.”

Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And heaven accept you.
[ This is my families last thanksgiving… 🙁
So live it up guys… even if just a tiny bit]
mmm, that looks delicious.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
and . . . thanks for all of your hard work in maintaining your excellent blog.
I, for one, have you to be thankful for too.
What Ron said.
Is that your spread or just a picture?
Thanksgiving Day 1969. I was sitting on a mountaintop right in the middle of nowhere, Vietnam. The monsoon season was ending but that particular day we were socked in by heavy rain, fog, and low clouds. The helicopters that were to have delivered our Thanksgiving dinner were grounded.
I sat there in my small bunker, wet, and more lonely than words can describe. And while I ate my can of cold C-rats spaghetti I listened to the Armed Forces Radio Station declare boldly that all of the troops would be enjoying a “hot” Thanksgiving Dinner that day. I didn’t break that radio but I wanted to.
I pray that all of our troops everywhere have a better day than that.
Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you for your blog, Neo, and all you share with us here!
You set a beautiful table, Neo — if that’s your table. Our dinner’s tomorrow, since that’s the day everyone can get here — but today’s Thanksgiving too, what with baking pies, taking walks, and watching football and the dog show with family. A two-day Thanksgiving — I’m thankful.
Such a lovely meal! Even without the feast, there is so much to be thankful for.
Happy Thanksgiving to all. Especially our warriors who are in strange lands and may not be eating so hearty today.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Yes, Neoneocon is one of the many blessing of Almighty God for which I give Him hearty thanks today.
kaba, I had a thanksgiving in the Army that was lonely but lonely was great. It was 1987 and I was 25 and tired of barracks and the whole general field of vision that was the 101st Airborne Division at Ft. Campbell, Kentucky. But Seargent K came to my rescue. He had a little trailer off somewhere in the boondocks and lent me the key while he was off to Ranger school. I got a 4 day pass over Thanksgiving and spent the whole time at the trailer, gloriously alone.
Thanks for fighting for our country.
And Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Neo. This year I tried soaking the turkey in brine as I’ve heard people rave about it before. I think I will continue to do it that way – delicious! Thank you for a continuing great blog.

Spent the day with the immediate family (including cute grandkids) and several neighbors. Lots to be thankful for and to cherish. Long may all the diverse tatterdemalion of neo-neocon readers and commenters prosper.
kaba – thanks for waiting out the monsoon.
curtis – thanks for being thankful for 4 days of solitude.
artfldgr – thanks for being artfldgr.
neo – thanks for creating and maintaining this space of sanity.
Curtis, those wooded hills around Central Kentucky are God’s country. Beautiful, even after the leaves have fallen. Some of my most cherished memories are from similar hills near Ft. Knox.
Thanks for your service also. We are truly blessed to have had an opportunity to serve.
As a lightweight around here, I want to thank all the intelligent commenters and especially Neo, who provides such interesting and varied topics for discussion. All of you give me more to think about than I can sometimes digest. For whatever bits of info or enlightenment I glean from you all, I am thankful.

kaba,
