Happy Thanksgiving! This will be a relatively quiet day here at Bedlam Manor, since today's feast is being hosted elsewhere. Just some baking to do before piling into the car to drive a few miles over hill and dale... well, here in our flat Gulf Coast topography, more like down the freeway with an overpass or two.
For your consideration, here's the Houston Chronicle on Thanksgiving, the holiday Walgreen's forgot:
It is for many people the best of all worlds: A spiritual holiday that doesn't require you to go to church or synagogue. A holiday whose pressures are confined to a few days in the kitchen, ending with wondrous protestations of wholly sated senses. A day when most of us are expected to show up for dinner with little more than good cheer and a green bean casserole.
You might also pause to think of others in need. The Star of Hope Mission is busy today feeding the homeless and the hungry. They deserve our support and could use a quick and easy online donation from you.
