Thanks for the cards, pics and well wishes, ehBeth.

Learning new stuff on the History and International History channels every day - - - I saw a few days ago a special program about the Plymouth Rock landers - - - Apparently, the local Native American chief not only greeted them in english, but, spoke english better than the pilgrims.

Today, Patti and I are starting to cook stuff - like a nice pie. And some other small things. Tomorrow is the big day...

Pretty cards.

Happy cooking!
Hope you will have lots of Heinzelmännchen to clean up the kitchen.

Have a save and fun trip. Please say hello to the Hamburgers.

That would have been Squanto, who wasn't really the sachem, or 'chief', but a highly respected member of the local band of Algonquins on Cape Cod. Some years previously he had been captured by another English explorer, taken to England, and later released and brought back home. He probably never thought that the English he learned while in England would be useful later on in life. The sachem was Massasoit who, of course, knew no English. But with Squanto's help the Pilgrims got on well with the locals.

Happy Turkey Day, y'all.

Wanted to wish everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving. Have been very busy - have been making some serious home improvements over the past several months & Mr. Matrix has had some surgeries to repair wear & tear on his body (only one that wasn't age related was his emergency appendectomy this summer). He's doing fine, now.

Have really realized just how thankful the more fortunate of us in the world should be ~ one of my son's best friends has been volunteering in Mali and has been sending us reports as is able to. It's ranked as one of the very poorest countries in the world. We truly are very lucky here!

Take care and I'll try to come back again when thing settle down a bit here.

~ Matrix

Matrix, I am so very glad to see you again.... I hope the best for your husband and applaud your son's best friend.

Merry Andrew, That's really useful information. Thanks for the additional input of historical facts. I move by acclamation (Roberts Rules of Order) you are elected official Historian Infacto de Wildclickers...........!

or, something to that effect.

All in favor - - - ?

My hand is up.

---------

Oh, and back to the subject of migration - - - it now appears the people in charge of this sort of stuff has determined that the very early North Americans (before they were Americans) crossed the land mass due to the last ice age by traveling along the coastline in boats/rafts and gradually settling in South America approximately two thousand years before the earliest recorded people who actually walked across the Bering Straits and expanded southward omniously (new word ).

Omniously. Love the word, Danon! It should go straightway into the dictionary.

I'm honored by your nomination for Historian Infacto. Among A2Kers, however, there are a number who are more desrving of the title, e.g. Setanta.

You guys are all such a heaping helping of fun

I give thanks for having had the chance to meet you here.

Happy Thanksgiving to all Wildclickers.

May, 1541

Spanish explorer, Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, led 1,500 men in a thanksgiving celebration at the Palo Duro Canyon. Coronado's expedition traveled north from Mexico City in 1540 in search of gold. The group camped alongside the canyon, in the modern-day Texas Panhandle, for two weeks in the spring of 1541. The Texas Society Daughters of the American Colonists commemorated the event as the "first Thanksgiving" in 1959.

Hi ul, thanks for the link - I had trouble getting into the site - so found it at =

The Palo Duro canyon area of TX is really beautiful. Actually, it is the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and is near the beginnings of the Red River, which passes close by my home here in NE TX.

mrs. hamburger is walking well using a temporary knee brace. A custom one will be ordered in a couple of weeks if the doc and the therapist agree that no damage is being caused.

Gosh it's hard to get her to stay in one place

Tis Sunday - before Cyber Monday.........

Back from a walk around "Lange Lacke"- this is one of the shallow, salty lakes near NeusiedlerSee.
At this time of the year thousands of ducks and geese stop there on their way.
In the late afternoon the geese came- flying in the 1 formation, filling the air with their cries, then falling down to the water. What a turmoil!


From Black Friday to Cyber Monday- you are busy.
What about Buy Nothing Day
