LINCOLN'S GETTYSBURG ADDRESS

"FOUR SCORE AND SEVEN YEARS AGO our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

NOW WE ARE ENGAGED in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

BUT, IN A LARGER SENSE, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

Good evening, hoagy, er, I mean Pillsbury Dough Boy.

Will you be having Thanksgiving at your house, or will you travel?

[TMSuchman]

Yeppers this is really me! F

You Are the Pillsbury Dough Boy

You love to make Thanksgiving comfortable for your whole family. You usually do a lot of the work, and you love every minute of it.
You are a fabulous cook and love whipping up big holiday meals for the whole crew. Your only problem on Thanksgiving is deciding what to make.

or you, Thanksgiving is definitely a time for home comforts and being close to those you love.
You enjoy traditions and the people you're with. You definitely look forward to this time of the year.

You Are Kermit

Like everything else in your life, you take Thanksgiving pretty seriously.
It's a time for reflection and gratitude. You also like to just sit back and observe the party.

You love Thanksgiving, but having a huge amount of people around can be a bit overwhelming.
As long as you're allowed some privacy and independence, you'll have a good Turkey Day.

Hiya Kathy!

No travel this year. I’ll be at home, cooking away. Traditional dinner...still have no idea what to do for dessert. I’ve done apple and pumpkin pies in the past. This year, I want to do something different. I do make a mean French Silk pie, though....it’s 3 pounds of home-made sin on a pie tin.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Now THAT pie should be quite the hit....but only after some time has passed and dinner has settled. d:o)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting as we remember those who have given their all that we may gather safe and secure.

[SkyDancer]

I came out as a Hello Kitty Balloon.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mike...((HUGS))...do you have all your ducks in a row for Thanksgiving? Do you have special stuff, or do you do the traditional fare?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Windcatcher...or should I say Kermit. Are you ready for a big spread?

[Kathy in Alaska]

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

God Bless you good, Mac. Good night and rest well. Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present. Thank you for your service to our country.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...are you getting ready for Thanksgiving? Will you have a crowd?

Hello Kitty...cute.

[Kathy in Alaska]

It is just going to be my Mom and me this year. This looks like something even I could do. How strong is the sour cream taste?

How many ounces is the lemon pudding mix? I know they have large boxes and smaller boxes.

[SandRat]

The sour cream taste is not there only a delightful taste.

The Pudding box is 3.4 oz, the small one.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sounds like a plan, wherever you are. I don’t cook, so I help with set up and clean up, too.
