A Happy Thanksgiving



I thought I'd change the spirit of Thanksgiving around a bit and try to come up with something for which I am not grateful.

Skunked.

Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian friends and family.

 

Uhh...guys...

You got skunked?

Thank you, Carla. It was just the two of us and it was wonderful.

Thanks, Hilary. You, too.

I couldn't come up with anything to not be grateful for.
That expression may have come about from the "skunk line" in cribbage. I suppose I should look it up and find out for a fact.

Hilary said...

Ah OK. I was thinking that you literally got skunked. I imagined you surprising and in turn being surprised by a wee black and white critter. Your lack of gratitude for that would be most understandable. Having nothing readily come to mind is even better.

I love Cribbage.. and have been skunked more than I care to admit. ;)

Thanks. Enjoy the day. Before long the "snow birds" from up your way will be back here to winter in the desert. If they arrive by Nov. 25, they'll have still another day for gratitude.

Those wild turkeys have a lot to be grateful for on this day!

Hope you had a good one!

Thanks, Ron. I've celebrated American Thanksgiving on occasion as my grandmother was from Nebraska.

Yes, they do, Bossy Betty. Thanks.

Reb said...

Lovely photos, Happy Thanksgiving to you both.

Leah J. Utas said...

Thank you, Reb.

Happy Thanksgiving, cousin! Hilary's comment made me giggle because I knew what you meant when you said you were skunked! (Guess our shared history counts for something. eh?)

Leah J. Utas said...

Thank you so very much, David.

Bag Lady, I just knowed you'd get it.

Yes, I'm late, as usual. Lots of kitten trouble.

Glad your Thanksgiving was good, and hope you have much happen in the next year to be thankful for next time, too.

Thanks so much, Messymimi.
