What am I thankful for? I'm thankful this is the first year I didn't have to hide the bodies. I'm thankful for the constant company of the radioactive robot zombies that follow me everywhere. I'm thankful no one saw that incident in the Yankees dugout, and I deny everything. I'm thankful most of the restraining orders are lifted.
But seriously:
Happy Thanksgiving FRiends!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you! What a great thread! Like you,
I’m thankful America looks to survive the Obamanation.
I’m thankful Trump was elected.

God Bless you all!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours as well.
Happy THANKSGIVING to ALL
You all keep me sane even when I only lurk.

Washington, D.C.
October 3, 1863
By the President of the United States of America.
A Proclamation.
The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequalled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle or the ship; the axe has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom. No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, this Third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of the United States the Eighty-eighth.
By the President: Abraham Lincoln
William H. Seward,
Secretary of State

Happy Thanksgiving Laz!
Thanks Laz.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
I feel the same, except I have no cats. Happy Trumpsgiving!
I’m thankful for FR, Jim Rob, John and all the FReepers. Among many other people and things...
Laz, Happy Thanksgiving to you to FRiend!!
On our drive over the river and through the woods to my mother’s house (where the really great food is),,, my husband asked me “What are you thankful for?”.
I said “Trump”.
He thought that was funny, or at least an odd thing to think of first.
I really am most thankful that Trump will be president and not “she who will not be named on Thanksgiving”.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING FREEPERS!
Great pictures!
Same to you, Laz!!!
Happy Trumpsgiving to you, as well, Laz. Looking forward is so much easier now. Blessings.....
What was the incident in the Yankees dugout?
Happy for Trumpsgiving and all of those things Friend!
