Happy Thanksgiving…

Written By: Charlotte - Nov• 22•12

to all my friends, new and old, and Happy Birthday Damian. 17 years old today and going for his driving license tomorrow. I can’t help but think of what I was doing when I was 17, it was a big footbal game day when we played our traditional Thanksgiving Day rival, Hawthorne (NJ) High School. It was always a little chilly, but it was always a great game, win or lose, as all the alumni were home from college and came back to the Thanksgiving game to reconnect with all their friends. The loudest hoots, howls and squells came from the most recent graduates, when they saw their friends. Everyone wore a great big yellow crysthamum mounted on brown leaves with brown ribbon streamers. We wore them proundly. I haven’t seen one of those in many years. Memories, memories I could go on but I would probably get weepy, and I do have to get my turkey in the oven. Again, Happy Thanksgiving have a wonderful day with family and friends.
