Thanksgiving Invitation

Being here is a boon to me . It’s on my list of gratitudes this Thanksgiving. As you know, these posts are the only way I can communicate with you. (But even that has proved salutary because I’ve learned all about wombats: they’re herbivorous marsupials whose pouch is upside down and whose dung comes out cube-shaped! ) “The world is so full of a number of things/I think we should all be as happy as kings! ” (R.L. Stevenson)

I’m writing to say I hope everyone posts about their Thanksgiving feasts. You could not say anything about this holiday which wouldn’t interest me! I want to be able to picture you each, preparing, celebrating. I would be ravished by descriptions of the table decor, the company!


I’ve entertained the same set of guests (in addition to my family) for……8? 9? Thanksgivings now. I consider each feast a jewel in a gleaming memory strand, precious to me, worn near my heart all year.
One year I dreamed about a good friend who had died. Of course as we always do, I asked, “Where have you been?” I have never gotten an answer, except this time: my friend answered “Thanksgiving”.

Which I reckon was my way of reminding me that this holiday is pretty close to my idea of Paradise!

And I wish peace and comfort and plenty for all of you. And: tell me about it!

  1. Your gratitude for this nearly-sacred space is shared by yours truly, Hypatia! Your prayerful good wishes are deeply-appreciated – and reciprocated! I will see if I can share a picture of my humble, but loved, table; and will definitely discuss the scrumptious menu – and the delightful guests. Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving!

  2. My Thanksgiving meal may consist mainly of the two legged shaved tail variety. Am guessing that any pics would not be of the family-friendly variety.

    How copy – over?

  3. Can I simply say what a relief to find someone who truly understands what they are talking about on the internet. You definitely understand how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More people ought to check this out and understand this side of your story. I was surprised that you are not more popular since you most certainly possess the gift.
