Well, you've read the notes, the notes gave thanks for Thanksgiving, and now it is time for you to post until the Thanksgiving cows come home. The one day of the year they don't have anything to worry about, if you get my meaning.

I am up and having coffee.

Feel absolutely sluggish and not ready for the day ahead.

In an hour, I shall be departing to meet my cousins for our trek to Simpsonville SC where we shall dine and make merry through the early afternoon.

It's about a 95-minute drive each way.

No snow in sight, but it might rain a bit.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, everyone!

Post by: Jrand74 on November 24, 2022, 07:29:28 AM

Well I guess I should have stayed awake a bit later last night.

From what I can remember:

Nellybelle was the jeep driven by Pat Brady in The Roy Rogers Show.  I don't think I was even in school - but it already seemed to me that Pat was the most annoying and useless character in the show and really had no reason to be there and take up time that could be spent watching Roy and Dale ride their horses.

Vern Allbright, father of my little Margie, worked at Honeywell & Todd....he wasn't a lawyer I think it was some kind of insurance or advertising agency - their clients were varied.

Mr. Honeywell was often involved in the antics as was neighbor Mrs. Odetts who was pretty funny, too. 

Title: Re: GIVING THANKS FOR THANKSGIVING
Post by: Jrand74 on November 24, 2022, 07:35:11 AM

I think Neal was the dog on Topper and Cleo was the basset hound on The People's Choice starring Jackie Cooper as Socrates, young go getter whose fiance called him Sock.

Cleo the dog would look at the camera while Mary Jane Randolph said her lines.....which were funny.  In one episode she was sitting on the stove in the kitchen and Sock told her to get down.

We got a closeup of Cleo while Mary Jane said:  "Now and then I get the urge to ride the range."

Which makes me laugh over 60 years later.

Everything turned out fine here.

Stove Top Stuffing, potato salad, green beans.  I baked the turkey breast as per instructions, then carved it up and put the slices in the oven where I broiled them for a few minutes on each side.

And I have enough left over for probably three days.....so around here it will be Thanksgiving until Sunday.

It is a shame when foods we have enjoyed over the years don't taste as good as they did.

I do not know what tv show Lassie appeared on other than her own.

The first Lassie show with Tommy Rettig, Jan Clayton and George Cleveland was, I think, called "Jeff's Collie".  Someone has probably already said this, but I posted after reading Jack's comment.

I don’t have a lot of nice things to say about Lea Michele either. She’s impersonating Barbra, not Fanny. Good voice, unoriginal performance.

Title: Re: GIVING THANKS FOR THANKSGIVING
Post by: Ron Pulliam on November 24, 2022, 07:28:56 PM

Since BK has said the Lassie question was a trick question, my best guess is that "Jeff's Collie" was put on the syndicated episodes of the Rettig "Lassie" episodes so that audiences wouldn't confuse the show with the Jon Provost episodes then airing as "Lassie".

FWIW:  My favorite Thanksgivings are ones I spent with family and friends.  During my military years, and the 25 years I had in Oakland, I had no special Thanksgivings.  They were days off in a four-day weekend cycle, for the most part.

And I didn’t even notice

Congrats, Vixmom!  Hopefully, someone was able to capture the moment...or fairly close to it.

I guess not...but here it is:

Thank you!

We ate and chatted, then chatted and ate, then everyone went home.  We didn't play cards or any game, but everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening.

I wasn't the only one who ate the meatballs, but I did bring home all that were leftover...and the (cow's) milk that my sister and niece no longer drink.

Two of my mom's friends, and a former co-worker of my sister's boyfriend joined us, so we had eight at the table.

We had 10, besides mom, Vixdad and myself there were my brother, his wife, her sister and her husband,  my SILs parents, and the guy from around the corner who has been friends with my brother since they were 5

The silly thing, of course, is they all agree politically;everyone is a left leaning or centrist Democrat.

Political discussion (or even mentions) were NOT allowed, even though everyone was of like mind.
