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

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.
