Happy Thanksgiving!

To our loved ones in America…..we wish you all a very very HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

We will be watching the Peanuts classic, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving on YouTube. I’m so thankful to have found it there. My Love has never seen it before. I am thrilled to share with him one of many American Thanksgiving traditions.

“Let’s have a parade!” - - - I would love to be able to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade with My Love. Thanks to EarthCam, I can watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade with My Love! Thank You to my sister-in-law for guiding me to EearthCam. I have never heard of it before. EarthCam will be showing a live webcast of the parade. Let’s see…parade time is 9 a.m. . . . that means midnight for me! I’m going to need a nap today!

If only we could get some football on the telly here. The Detroit Lions will be facing the Green Bay Packers on Turkey Day. I’ll be looking to Fox Sports for some highlights the day after. Instead of football, cricket will be on here. After all, it is summer Down Under.

While you are all enjoying your Thanksgiving feasts on Thursday, I will be preparing for my first Thanksgiving married. We are celebrating it on Sunday, when Mum & Dad can join us. I’ll be blending traditional American Thanksgiving staples with local Australian fare. It will be Thanksgiving with an Australian spin. I will post pictures.

I have so much to be thankful for this year!
