Does the Girl’s first Presidential Turkey Pardoning inaugurate a great political career for her? Will her help in decorating the Animals’ Holiday Snack Tree with popcorn strands, suet and peanut butter pinecones signal a new era of peace in the backyard Demilitarized Zone?
My life being chaos lately, I ordered a turkey dinner catered, to be delivered hot and ready to eat, but I just checked my order and I forgot to include sweet potatoes.
Morning run to the store will be required.
I hope everyone else is better prepared.
Has anyone seen the Emmet Otter special from years ago? I’ve never seen it. It is being done live here, and it got rave reviews. I just ordered a ticket for December.
Burt should tell Elvis how, come November, hand turkeys spontaneously generate in every elementary school across the nation; and that, if you gather them all up, they’d fill several houses, and would weigh enough to crush a school bus.
On today’s “list of things for which I’m thankful”: our animal friends — Georgia’s beautiful artwork and her gentle, creative worldview — and the kindly, good fellowship of the bright collection of folks from around the world known as “The Orb.” Wishing you all the very best for the upcoming holidays.
I was almost not here. Our cable in my area went out all day twice now. It came on at 0020, so I jumped on before we lose it again, and we have to swear at Frontier.
Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating … whether or not you have cranberry space goo, forget to remove the rack before preheating oven, make hand turkeys, or have napkin birds!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! To you who celebrate and you who don’t. I’m thankful for you all and for Georgia aand her world who brought us all to the Orb. Have a wonderful day!
We avoid the whole center rack in the oven problem by cooking the turkey outside in our kettle grill. Cooks faster and frees up the oven for all the side dishes. Been doing it for 45 years :-)
Floofnet the Joyous: Welcome, one and all. It is truly an honor to greet everyone from Egypt, Afar, and Away!
Ora Zed: Thank you. When do we eat?
Queen Catshepsut the Golden: Ora, try to be patient.
Ora Z: What’s patient?
Puckmosis: It’s waiting a bit until everyone’s ready.
Iggy Shipwright: I brought along some of Fe-Anaro’s indestructible gem stones. Let’s get together with Bea, Iron Glove and Wally* for a game of paw ball, or soccer.
Ora Z: Great! There’s a playing field out back!
Floof: Did you bring the desserts, Thomios?
Thomios: Right here. Chocolate everything, and a few things for those not in the mood for chocolate (it happens).
Floof: And this year, we have two special guests. Queen Lisa and King Montgomery of the Moles!
Queen Cat: Welcome, Your Majesties. It was truly wonderful to meet you after learning of the war that hasn’t happened yet.
Queen Lisa: True, but as they say, All will be well that will end well.
King Monty: May we truly learn from what is yet to happen.
Floof: And I would also like to thank our friends the Royal Procurers, who supplied much of the feast from sources of which we know not.
Alice-Ata: On behalf of my sister and friends, you’re most welcome.
Floof: And also to the Desert Rats, Amon-Merchant and Azibo, who provided a spice or several.
Queen Mags: And now it is time. Let us give thanks for this wonderful feast. And for our friends in the real world at this time.
Timely reminder! Too many times have we donned the oven mitts of shame & walked the hot oven rack of disgrace to a place of safety! In one house we lived in, we had to take said hot rack out to the outside back porch! The bathtub was in the only bathroom, so, no closing the door to keep the cats away from it.
Happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating it today. May you all be happily stuffed with turkey, ham and/or roast beef, all the sides you want, and desserts to make your teeth ache with their sweetness!
Happy Feast-of-the-Carbs Day! My husband the runner delights in two kinds of potatoes, stuffing, and rolls on this day, all piled high with a side of turkey. Followed by two kinds of pie. He can afford all those calories – he’ll run them off tomorrow. I, however, will have to exercise portion control.
Happy Turkey day! for those having it. If not, then Happy Ham day! And if you’re not having either one of those, I’m sorry! I’m grateful to have such a wonderful place to come in the morning, and read something that will give me a few moments of peace and happiness. And that’s even when I read the comments! Thank you!
The Girl is one after my own heart. When I was about her age, we made hand turkeys in school by tracing our hands inside a blob-shaped dotted outline on the paper. The rest of the kids cut out their finished turkeys on the dotted line, but I very carefully cut around the turkey itself. The teacher had never seen anyone cut around all the feathers, & was a bit freaked out by it. She was even more freaked out when I traced feathers between the feathers on a second turkey & cut those out too. I figured, it looks more like a real turkey that way…
Happy Birthday to Lady Kat, Christopherbacon692 & Isnielson’s SIL today! also early birthday wishes to Tigrisan’s Thing 2 on the 24th and Dennis in Seattle’s wife’s on Monday. may everyone experience a year filled with joy, peace, love, prosperity and good health.
prayers of comfort and hugs being sent to all who are missing someone or going through a rough patch. i want to remind all of us that grief and pain is universal, we have all experienced it (or will) and that even if no one else is around you to empathize, you will always find compassion from the Orb.
Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate. If you don’t give plenty of smiles to the random people you see today.I am forever grateful to the Orb and Georgia’s ingenuity.
Believe it or not gang, Georgia DID forget the top rack. She even took a photo and posted it on FB and, I assume, Insta. Giggle and a hearty @*$)%/ to all!

The girl appreciates Ora’s defensive pounce and loving protection of the family. She is thinking she made her turkey too authentic, for Ora to handle.
Elvis is thinking, "the kits get away with everything._
Puck is marveling at the girl’s fashion choice to match the little tortie’s orange coloring.
Lupin is trying to figure out how he can get that Kitten Cred for himself.

From You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown: Happiness
Happiness is two kinds of stuffing
Knocking down dishes
Cats from Siam!
…….
Happiness is fun decorations
Folding the napkins
Climbing door jambs!
…….
Happiness is hugs from your family
No matter what you do
And happiness is those who still love you!
…….
Happiness is winter and summer
Springtime and autumn, too!
For happiness is everywhere and everywhen at all
That’s loved by you!
…….
Happiness is fun and forgiveness
No matter what mischief you might do
Happiness is running and napping when the day is through
And happiness is those who are with you!
…….
Happiness is winter and summer
Springtime and autumn, too!
For happiness is everywhere and everywhen at all
That’s loved by you!
