I'd like to thank all the folks who read and commented on the story. Honestly, it's a real treat to be able to put up creative work and have it acknowledged by this august group. I cut the line where Francine admonishes Darrell, "Don't make eye contact, you'll never get rid of him." So, beware.

Great read, Oxy.

Great read, Oxy.

I do so much writing that I rarely get the opportunity to read other writers, but I'm going to have to change that - it's much too self-centered. I'm also going to have to check you out more often. You have a knack for story-telling.

Something interesting I just

Something interesting I just ran across. Iceland is having a Black Friday Sale also. Check it out. Also there is a nice slide show of Bardabunga eruption that is going on since the end of August. It sorta fits into the Thanksgiving theme. You will have to use the google translator.

I am not doing any shopping but I thought it was interesting that other countries copies us. I am avoiding the grim news. Trying to keep it happy.

A wonderful piece of writing,

It sure has been depressing. A crappy election and now the African American community has had enough.

It is 6 am in the morning and I am finally headed to bed. I had an apple pie fail me tonight and had to make a second one. That hasn't happen in years. My grandson in laws requested he bring one of my apple pies to Thanksgiving Dinner. They said it was ok if I came along with the pie. But they were counting on the pie. LOL Here is the final result.

The other kids are with their other grand mother. My turkey will be roasted later tonight for Friday. I haven't been invited out for Thanksgiving in years. It does feel strange not having a turkey in the oven.

Thanks for the story. And have a nice holiday.

The events in Ferguson are almost too depressing to contemplate. I was sitting around here tonight kind of glum and decided to write this story to cheer myself up a bit.
