Happy Thanksgiving

"In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn't until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November."

Thanks History.com for that simple and concise Thanksgiving explanation!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Today, I hope you are going to enjoy plenty of turkey, stuffed, mashed potatoes and my personal favorite, pecan pie!
