Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Post by Sylvester » Wed Nov 21, 2012 6:56 am

I hope you all have a Great Thanksgiving this week! Eat lots, don't skip dessert, enjoy the family and if you get the chance, watch some Charlie Brown and football. I know I will.

Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod, The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

X2. California's Gold Country Campers have already struck a blow for Thanksgiving. Last weekend, they had their fourth annual Pre-Thanksgiving Campout and Feed. About twenty people in ten buses/vans. A great time was had by all, despite the weather forecasts.

That's how we roll here.

Indeed, happy thanksgiving to everyone! Take it slow too, you'll get there when you'll get there.

Also, I want fat reports by Sunday, and expect everyone to pick-up about 3 lb's in body mass. :P

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I am overwhelmed at this point in my life with how much I have to be deeply thankful for. My focus this holiday season is to live in utter appreciation for the life I am living and to give give give as earnestly and often as I can, to those who need it and those who don't.

Stay safe out there. Lots of folks barreling down highways and department store aisles at blistering speeds and all of them have loved ones expecting them to make it home safely so they can drive each other nuts around the dinner table.

Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful to have so many VW freinds.
I plan to eat much, nap, and then assemble a bug engine with my brother-in-law.

Take some pictures of the engine assembly.

Happy Thanksgiving! I am very thankful that the American election process worked and the election wasn't stolen. For Tday dinner I had Tjauw Mein and Bamie mit Kip and worked all day long.

You had what now?

We're heading off a bit to have dinner with a group of cousins (three generations worth) on the other side of town, my only known relatives within 300 miles. They're of the "second cousin once removed" variety but I'm not good at keeping track of the exact details & levels involved with that stuff. We get along well and we're family, which is what counts.
