“There will be time enough to fight on our own terms.. Rest up now for the battles to come..”
And there will be many battles.
Howie, My main Man.. You are on target as always.. The Holidays are a bit stressful if you aren’t feeling well, but I love the family ties, and there are no better times than the Holiday to bring everyone together..
This Chicago mob are corrupted, and there is no doubt they infect everything they come in contact with.. So, they can watch around the corners and worry about being caught with all of their ongoing lies, while we enjoy our lives with love all around us..
Enjoy your Holiday my FRiend.. We can get back to fighting to save the Republic on Friday.. LOL
How wonderful is that.. Who better to ask than Mom? It brings tears to my eyes.. Mom, I often find myself talking to my Mom, that I lost in a tragic way when she was much too young.. What added to the unexpected loss was that we were so far apart, and I was so wrapped up in my business and family life that I missed being with her while she was alive..
So my time is spent talking to her now, is about things that I would be saying and asking her if she was still here.. The pity is that I didn't do this all when I had the chance..
We are all guilty of the 20, 20 hindsight in life.. Those that are reading this, should take stock, and find the time to do the things that are really important NOW, and not live with the regrets that too often come in the way..
What better time than a Holiday, to reach out and touch someone that needs you as much as you need and love them.. NOW!!!
Sounds like my man bert has his ducks in a row.. How wonderful is it to have all the chickens in one roost, even if it is for such a short time.. sigh.. Enjoy, my FRiend.. :)
Happy Thanksgiving, Carlo and all the FReepers out there.
Eat hearty and don’t let the shopping ads on TV ruin Thanksgiving for you!
Have a memory of a Thanksgiving meal when I was a young teenager of my mom and aunt cooking all day but my cousin Sheila and I thought the meal was boring and only ate turkey and potato chips with ketsup. My mom gave me a seriously hard look at the end of the meal and knew we had dishonored their efforts and never did that again.
GASP!!! That offense could carry the Death Penalty in our Italian home.. LOL
I’m sorry for being so slow in getting a thank you to you for the great Remembering, Thanksgiving, Family, story.
I can’t tell you how many memories you brought back to me or the tears of joy I shed. It all felt so much like home!
Thank you my FRiend, that is the reason I posted it, to remind all of us what our world used to be when being an American was still about being proud.. Have a great holiday season.. Carlo
