Today is Thanksgiving Day, and once again I find my friends and family reflecting back on the past year and reciting things they are thankful for. It is a real comfort to see that many who have had to weather life's storms have come through those storms intact.
As you gather with family and friends, I hope you take a moment to reflect back and I hope that you, indeed, find those things to be thankful for.
I have a few blessings I would like to mention, but this is certainly not an all-inclusive list--
My AMAZING children who make me old.
My AMAZING grandchildren who keep me young.
My AMAZING parents who, at 87 and 83, are still challenging me and my siblings.
My AMAZING siblings who help keep me sane when dealing with our parents.
My AMAZING larger family who keep me entertained and grounded.
My AMAZING friends who also keep me entertained and grounded.
And my AMAZING readers who are there no matter what, in agreement or not, and who never disappoint!
Have an AMAZING holiday all!
So, until next time,
Edith Ann
A Thanksgiving Blessing
May your stuffing be tasty,
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!
With that exortation, let the feasting begin!
Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless you one and all.

And a wonderful Thanksgiving to you and to all your AMAZING loved ones!
Now where's that pie?!
Happy Thanksgiviving to you and yours.
Excess ... twice too much ain't half enough. Hope y'all enjoy it. We'll have a certain pirate crew among others this evening.
I hear that Loon.
But you know, there is nothing like...
The cooking and eating is done, the leftovers are Friginated, almost all the family has left and the first load of dishes is washed...
Now it's kick back time ahhh.
Hope all of ya'll had a good one too!
Thanks, Sugar! We had a fine day! Small group this year, but a fine day nonetheless.
Thanks, Mike! Hope your's was great, too!
Agreed, Mr. Loon! Have a great time with that motley crew!
Legion, we're all cleaned up over here, but that wasn't hard to do! I only had to make dressing and take it to someone else's house!
Well, from all reports from friends on Facebook, it seems a happy day was pretty much enjoyed by all.
Happy Thanksgiving!
It is filling date and the Republican Rumor Mill is saying:
a) Democrat Chuck Cole will run as a Republican in District Judge Kelly's position.
b) republican media consultant Mike Sizemore will run Geanie's opponents advertising campaign. (Where is the love? Guess Mike never got over having to refund the VEDC's $100,000 failed UHV switch campaign money).
c) GOP County Chair will receive a competitor from among one of the Republican Women members. Guess they didn't appreciate all of the meeting postponements Michael. Where's the love Michael? The ladies have pledged $5000 for the run. Woooo. This will be dirty.
d) Hear that Amy Munday will have competitition this time for her GOP precinct chair position. Bye-bye Ms. Munday.
e) Heard Lewis Neisch wants to resurrect the Moo-Moo meetings as a campaign promise when he runs against Mr Hagan. A free gizzard for all public attendees?
f) With all these turkeys, what better post-Thanksgiving could one ask for?
Hey Anymouse!
Chuck Cole for District Judge? That could be one more addition to the Victora justices for sale crowd. Is that Cole one of the names of the Cole/Cole or is he the Cole without his name on the front door?
Anonymous--
a) Why is he running as a republican? Is that where the money is?
b) Is this a prediction, a la 'we don't know who the opponent is, but Sizemore will run it' type deal, or do you have a name?
c) $5000 to be county chair? Wow! They want him out that bad? Maybe the chairs need to participate in the LWV debates (I don't think they do currently).
d) Maybe Amy Mundy can run agaisnt Cloud, and just vacate her chair, freeing it up for someone else...
e) I hadn't heard he wanted to ressurect the meetings, but it stands to reason. It worked in the past and if it's not broke, don't fix it!
f) So do you think the Wyatt folks will fight with the Zuckerites (I think that is what I called them once upon a time) for control of the republican party? Or do we have new warring factions. Clue us as to who we need to watch, who the contenders are.
2nd Anonymouse--I know which Cole he is, I don't know if he is 'Cole' or 'Cole'. I just know he's not 'Easley'.

This should just get more and more interesting as folks file. The Sheriff has an opponent, Scott Hornstein. He used to work at the SO. I am going to have to poke around and see what it yields.
I hear the GOPsters warring faction is coming from within the existing GOP Executive Committee. The Victoria Republican Women unofficially supported Michael McCloud over Mary Anne Wyatt. The Cloud Campaign two years ago promised happy days and togetherness. Michael Cloud hasn't even held half of his meetings on time. And when he held a meeting most of the time he couldn't get a simple majority present. A number of precinct chairs have resigned in pure disgust of being associated with luke warm "republicans". The crowning blow was a 14 month process in just creating a mission statement and bylaws. Wait, but that is the way the National level Republicans do it. Scratch the failed local agenda idea... everything is operating ok... "all screwed up".
Looks to me there is trouble brewing in the local republican social party. AND for a $3000 filing fee Michael Cloud embraces ultra democrat Cole to run as a Republican for Kelly's District Judge position? Luke Warm Republican must be a good description for Mr Cloud. But, birds of a feather do flock together. And they do share everything, including lice and STDs.
