Excerpt from L.K. Smith’s short story:
In the early years of this country’s formation, Thanksgiving was celebrated intermittently as a time of a bountiful harvest, an insurance policy against winter starvation, and thanks were given to God. It wasn’t until 1863 that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.
Have a great Holiday, and I hope that the children and grandchildren still fight over the wishbone. –Bunk
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Bunk.

Calo– Same to you. Small gathering this year. Dad’s gone, Bunkarina’s up north, brother-in-law’s working. Just me, the missus, Bunkessa & my sister Bunkella.
