Thanksgiving has come and gone. I hope you had as good a holiday as I did. Polly and I were in Connecticut for our Pilgrim feast. It was smaller than usual with just our immediate family.

 I began dressing in cheap costumes for holidays when my granddaughter was a toddler. I wasn’t going to do so this year but when I asked her if I should she asked me to do so. For about an hour after all was cooked, I donned my Amazon Pilgrim outfit, and she as my sous chef took a photo together.

We always have the traditional Thanksgiving meal but of course we also have the Italian one. My sous chef has become a great meatball maker. Polly is our desert chef, and my other daughter makes several loaves of bread for the table.

Christmas now is right around the corner. We have one more issue for the year on December 21st.   While this is a quiet time most years… not this one. We have several stories we will be working on for that edition.

Today is December 7th. It is the “Day that will live in infamy.” Pearl Harbor where the U.S. Pacific Fleet was bombed by the Japanese on this day in 1941. It was the birthday of my father who was having a party when the news was announced, he later told me. It was also the birthday of the fictional Vito Corleone, the Godfather which we found out in the “Godfather Part II”.

The New York Football Giants were playing the Brooklyn Dodgers (the football team) at the Polo Grounds. True to form the Giants lost 21-7.

I want to remind our readers to turn to our Facebook page to see our latest between editions. Now have a quiet morning reading our latest edition.

Have a great Sunday Morning!
