Thanksgiving... Today is Thanksgiving. I like Thanksgiving for many reasons. The primary reason would have to be that our country decided to always put it on a Thursday, which usually means you get to take Friday off too! Because it's just silly to come back from a Holiday only to work one day and go into the weekend.
I chose this scan for a couple of reasons:
1. Macy's is an American Institution
2. They host a Parade on Thanksgiving that is always way too long and has way too many commercial breaks and way too much lip syncing, yet I still love it.
3. This scan also shows Santa and it's a little symbolic of the Holiday season that will be ushering in tomorrow with Black Friday.
4. This scan is from an ad and I love to look at all the ads on Thanksgiving morning as I eat breakfast.

On this Thanksgiving, I want to thank all of my blog fans for reading this trivial mess.

Independence Day... I guess on July 4th it is appropriate to wish a Happy Birthday to our Declaration of Independence. It feels a little strange wishing a happy birthday to a document. Not to mention that it is a month off. If I am not mistaken, the document wasn't signed in its entirety until August of 1776. I could be wrong. Either way, we have the day off, which is always a big plus in my book. I hope your day is full of BBQ, fireworks, family, friends, True Patriotism (not the kind used for political spouts and gain). After living in a foreign country for a couple of years, I have love for this country and I am grateful for those that serve our country with true honor. THANK YOU and God Bless America.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!! That is a green bagel. It's not moldy, but it certainly looks like it (sorry, if it brings thoughts of something else). I am not sure I understand the significance of the odd traditions of St. Patrick's Day. The pinching. The green. The shamrocks. Etc. Well, whatever the significance, I hope you all wore your green and if you didn't ... you should be pinched!
