Thanksgiving dinner prep work is underway at the Rooster’s house. Today it is the filling for the bird, and does it smell good. We passed te baton several years ago, Kathryn had us all, about thirty, last year. Sarah has the honor this year. No taking the ferry on Turkey Day to cross the Wicomico, guessing the operator has the day off, what could be a 15 minute trip will now take 35. Bummer!
Saturday of this week will be the annual Wicomico Yacht Club Boat parade. For the past month in conjunction with the Marine Corps “Toys for Tots” program, toys have been collected and will be distributed up river in the Port of Salisbury.
We will break out some festive things to decorate the house this weekend and they shall remain up until 6 January, the Epiphany (/əˈpɪfəni/ ə-PIF-ə-nee), also known as “Theophany” in Eastern Christian tradition,[1] is a Christian feast day commemorating the visit of the Magi, the baptism of Jesus, and the wedding at Cana.[2]
The wife is a “Facebook” reader, never does she post. On occasion she may ask the Rooster to send a congratulatory note or condolences for us both, that’s about the extent of her correspondence. She has a Quilting friend up in Alaska and that friend recently had a Facebook post tht went something like this:
I don’t mean to be a Grinch, however —to those who who choose Christmas lights, decorations in your yards and the like, please avoid using lights of flashing red and blue together. Every time I come around the corner, I think it’s the POLICE and I have a panic attack. I have to brake hard, throw out my wine, fasten my seat belt, turn the radio down and stash the gun under the seat. All of this while trying to drive at the posted speed limit. It’s just too much drama, even for Christmas. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Sometime we just need to laugh!
I hope all enjoyed their Thanksgiving feast.
Don’t forget to check on the elderly!
As The Rooster Crows 
I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving feast as well!
Good one with the red and blue flashing lights! What is it about seeing a police car that makes us immediately feel we’ve done something wrong when we absolutely haven’t??
I’m glad to know you keep Christmas decorations up until Epiphany. That’s our tradition, too.
That red and blue light warning is hysterical. 🙂 Hope you have an amazing holiday season.
Thanksgiving here was lovely, and what’s even lovelier is that I hosted — which means that the pre-Advent housecleaning is done. The tree is up, but still with only lights. Once decorated, I’ll begin lighting it on the first Sunday of Advent, and it will stay until Epiphany.
I laughed and laughed at the little police car bit. I often travel a secondary highway that has a business (honestly, I think it’s a bar) that has red and blue lights out front. I swear they arranged them to look like a couple of squad cars. Even though I know they’re there, every time I see them I have to figure it out every time — while I’m slowing down!
