thanks panzerman.....O boy..i'm looking 4ward to turkey & the fixins'...but not any time real soon i reckon...
Enjoy your Thanksgiving, O Canada. Sorry we cannot come up and visit yall. Feel free to come visit us down here when we have ours!
Thanks, @panzerman. (Yes, I had to Wiki this in fact being the Canadian observance, at record (except, wrong kind of) speed.) ...It's always been an inspiration to imagine this civilized country (by however relative a margin), where grownups live --some of whom have even been known to hold political office, prominent exceptions to the contrary-- so near my own border. Kind of puts a little perspective on how some people of my country regard people to the south of their own selves.
Happy Thanksgiving! Wish you guys could join us for dinner up north, but maybe next year. The horn of plenty, or cornucopia, is a common symbol used in the feast of thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in Canada -- including my own son J., who's a second-year PhD student in the Art History program at the U. of Toronto. (Some of you may remember that I visited him for a long weekend at the end of February, right before the pandemic hit along everything associated with it, and posted many pictures of our visits to the ROM on my return.) I do feel that he's generally safer up there from the risk of COVID-19 (although he was very careful when he was back home from early April to mid-July). But it makes me sad that I can't visit him. And that he can't come back to see me and the rest of his family, for American Thanksgiving or any other reason, without quarantining for 14 days upon his return to Canada. That's what he did when he went back in July, but it isn't really practical in the middle of the academic year. He doesn't think the border is going to be opened until next spring, and he's certainly more familiar with the situation up there than I am. So I'm afraid that he may be right.
@DonnaML, best toward you folks. ...From here, this is a duly, and truly valued reality check. No kidding, serious best. (...I'm in sustained self-isolation, being too high-risk for paranoia to be anything but a one-word oxymoron. ..You get good days, and bad.)
That time of the year again for you Canadian sods? Good Lord, how time passes, and enjoy the day (though it's nearly past) my friends......
I worked all Thanksgiving Day blowing leaves/ then mulching them with lawnmower.Then I got to have my favorite .... Roast Rabbit/ Mashed potatoes/ tons of gravy/ white asparagus in a white sauce Must of had over 10K calories today. I started the day off really well by grabbing a pristine AV Louis d'or 1751-BB (Strasbourg Mint) Heritage Sunday nite auction/ Caranett sale part 3
