 My first Thanksgiving Day in America was spent near Boston in Massachusetts -- so that first feast between the Pilgrims and the native Americans was retold to me probably near where it happened. I was lucky to have been hosted by the family ( who lived in Woburn/next to Lexington) of my school roommate at the University of Massachusetts...Decades later, I was able to visit the site where the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock! HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all our American friends...and to all those who celebrate this day of giving Thanks!Jo |

I have also spent a very traditional Thanksgiving Day celebration a few years back, enjoying the hospitality of my niece's American in-laws who lived in Long Island! *There was watching the Macy's parade *Some football-watching in the early afternoon. *A sumptuous turkey dinner with all the trimmings... and then some! But what I never expected was what followed the main course, for which they had to clear the dinner table from the main courses  Something like this --  Apple pie, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, and all sorts of other pies  Maybe I should have rowed and rowed, too Jo |
