Very interesting, and it will be shared with my Thanksgiving companions! I actually think I'll quiz people first, just for fun.

I never knew. Funny, how <em>even then</em> things turned political! I kind of like the 4th Thursday, however. I am glad he changed his mind! :-) I love Thanksgiving and I love hearing about the history. It's hard to imagine how little the Pilgrims had compared to us and yet they gave thanks. Beautiful piece. Put me in the mood for Thursday! Thanks! Emil, “Franksgiving” – ? I never knew. Funny, how even then things turned political! I kind of like the 4th Thursday, however.
