Thanks! Happy Favorite Holiday to you!<br /><br />P.S. I echo the wish to communicate with Debbie. She's so kind go visit and comment, and on a few occasions I've wanted to comment back. <br />Many thanks to you both for so warmly welcoming me to Blogland!Susan Nowell @ My Place to Yourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08220347296206361001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-39486791758679570092010-11-24T14:14:26.166-05:002010-11-24T14:14:26.166-05:00I have followed many of the same footsteps as you ...I have followed many of the same footsteps as you in visiting historical sites. One of my best stories was when a coworker called me with a problem and expected me to fix it by faxing some documents to a vendor, I informed him I was at the time being lodged in an Indiana teepee and they didn't have fax machines.<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving.Miss Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11140495661255590450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-7127041577008736372010-11-24T12:45:37.987-05:002010-11-24T12:45:37.987-05:00Debbie, I laughed out loud more than once.

The Man and I were at Plimoth Plantation (never did figure out why they spell it different there) last summer and enjoyed it immensely. Of course, we were alone. LOL! Had our daughter been along, she would probably have been whining. I had my picture taken right there on that main path. Loved the whole experience.<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving, my friend!

Although we were not able to travel far with our children, we could always find a museum, or historic site or monument, or even an old cemetary to visit on our "one tank trips". I think it is wonderful to instill a sense of history in our children. It helps them to make better choices for all our future. And I love the "judgement" story!Miss Merryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691152819794851137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-46084314160073010862010-11-23T16:31:38.305-05:002010-11-23T16:31:38.305-05:00Tired today...does Denise know????Tired today...does Denise know????Renéehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11554000489672731030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-28714679601372100962010-11-23T16:30:48.077-05:002010-11-23T16:30:48.077-05:00I'm back home and my guy woke up with a sore t...I'm back home and my guy woke up with a sore throat this AM.

In fact, my husband still laughs that so many of our honeymoon photos are of cemetery visits. Can I help it that we went to New England and some of the greatest men and women in history are buried there?? You understand, I just couldn't resist paying a visit while we were in the area. <br /><br />I haven't been to Plymouth but would love to go! Thanks for sharing the recipe. I can make that drink and pretend I'm a real pilgrim for Thanksgiving. :)Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06803298045157119462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-29740581642337930562010-11-21T08:56:29.834-05:002010-11-21T08:56:29.834-05:00Oh!

If only she'll TRY it so she would feel better!!<br /><br />Such fond memories of our wonderful vacations we have shared. I only hope our daughters will carry on the historical vacation passion we inherited from our parents. (See we do pass down something besides colds).<br /><br />I really think we SHOULD be able to trace our family back to those Mayflower folks. You've only got about 10 years to find, don't you? Then perhaps you could really be Priscilla!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303538256011330795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-14645358420521636122010-11-19T18:21:43.224-05:002010-11-19T18:21:43.224-05:00What a wonderful heritage!
