Happy Thanksgiving!

There's a lot to be thankful for in my house.  First, my Tewksbury Memorial High School faces off against our perennial Thanksgiving Day enemy,  Wilmington High School.  As this is the last game of the season, my cheerleading daughter has been TP'ing senior girls' houses, much to the dismay of their parents.  The senior girls have been responding in kind by executing the same operation, with military precision, on the boys' houses.  We'll hang with friends, watch our daughters and sons carry out this tradition, and then head back home for a big dinner with my family (BTW, hats off to the cooks for all the work they do.  Honey, are you reading?).  (Un)fortunately, this marks the end of spirit fingers for the season.

Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, turnip, squash, green beans, lots of gravy...you name it.  We'll eat way too much.  Next, settle in to a game and a little nap.  Everyone will wake up to coffee brewing which means the desserts are not far behind.  Pies mostly.  Apple especially.  A few drinks and some fond memories of those that used to fill the empty spaces around the table.  Remembering is good.

A big shoutout to all our servicemen and servicewomen who are standing in harm's way so that we may enjoy the safety they provide.  They are the true Patriots.  Let us all pray for their speedy and safe return home.

Sounds like a plan

Happy Thanksgiving MPF and to all of the Pulpit faithful. A lot to be grateful for, including this community right here. As one of the above mentioned cooks I’ll be planted in the kitchen (my command central) most of the day, but it’s all good and where I love to be. God bless, everyone.

Keep the faith!

Happy Thanksgiving, Fox

Here’s a gift from my son, AeriesGodOfSoar (an Eagles fan)

Happy Thanksgiving one and all

For family, friends and fellowship, for those that share the good times and the bad, we give thanks.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone

One of the many things I’m thankful for is to have found this online community to share my passion for the Patriots. Reading everyone’s post and comments and articles and knowing others care about the same things I do makes not only this day but the entire year more pleasurable. Thanks to all of you for all you do, and especially to MaPatsFan for running this great site.
