How To Have A First Thanksgiving Again

When you get to be my age, and have lived my life, first any things are hard to come by.

So, after Georgie and Luke and the Grans returned from their two year Odyssey to and from Oz, the idea of them hosting the First Thanksgiving in Pilgrim fashion (G is British by birth-Aussie by emigration) in their new home was a perfect opportunity to add one more first to my list.

The dogs – Jasper (foreground) and Sherlock (background) were assigned watch duty to ensure I didn’t pilfer any of the silver

Jasper channeled Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre  from the days of the French revolution with the way his hair sits on his head like a wig. He was obviously considering my march to Madame Guillotine should I move from my assigned spot.

Luke and I actually got to share some rare time talking about important and mystical things – like synchronicity, quantum physics, writing, and organized religion – just as the clock (iPhone) struck 3:33.

which, anyone who knows their occult practices will tell you was a great omen.

Scarlett and Georgie did a wonderful job preparing the food, including cupcakes baked by Scarlett,

with Georgie assisting in the presentation while Savanna cast a spell on the end results.

The Grans sang me a belated birthday song which had been choreographed by Jasper,

but after I threatened the two younger sisters with death – channeling Kim Jong Un  – for not singing along with enough enthusiasm, they quickly dispersed.

Lisa was feeling recovered enough to cook and bring along my favorite vegetarian pasta meal –

which Stella – still upset with my death threat – and with the psychic goading of her equally mischievous and vindictive sibling, Savanna –

proceeded to sample and then spit back the small sample she had asked for into that large Pyrex dish at the table – Georgie did her best to fish out the masticated pieces while Lisa magnanimously excused the completely feral and totally expected conduct with, “Don’t worry, we’re all family here!”

It was delicious.

So, a good time was had by all at this first Thanksgiving in a new house, starting a new life with a wonderful family.

I am truly blessed.

I was home in time to feed Claire and Honey their own magnificent meal and then put up my feet with Smokey while I watched a CBC cop show on Amazon – https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3340712/

With the amazing Canadian actor Jared Keeso – Letterkenny.

Highly recommend both series.

But today is now Friday – and a Black one at that.

Time to shop on-line and snap up very expensive mule and human supplements for a discount.

You fine, five readers enjoy this launch into another long weekend and the beginning of serious Christmas shopping season. Raiders-Chiefs game later offers some sports distraction for the diehards.

I’m heading out to cuddle some kitties and make my rounds.

Then fuck-all. Definitely grabbing some bargains and maybe some chores.

And, no matter what today may bring us, let us make it a great one.
