What better way to celebrate being THANKFUL than on THANKSGIVING! Brian has the perfect blog hop for everyone today and if you’d like to join in and express your thanks – please click on his badge and join in.
We are mostly thankful for our health at my house but also thankful for ALL OF YOU. You are the people who keep us going. We blog so we can enjoy your company and your sense of humor and your support and about a million other things. The blogosphere is a HUGE world as you know…..some people try it and don’t like it and stop. Angel Sammy and Mom started this blog in May of 2011 and after Angel Sammy left us, I took his place and we are still going strong. That is a BIG THANKFUL.
Angel Sammy STILL is involved in the blog though as you know – in several ways but the biggest of ways is his POETIC THURSDAY. And I got his email last night so here’s what he has for all of us this week:
♥♥♥
Happy Thanksgiving Friends!
I spent a lot of Thanksgivings with my Mom and Dad and know how much they enjoyed the big feast with family. This year they will be alone – with Teddy – for the feasting. Mom is doing the whole turkey and trimmings thing and they will have a fire in the fireplace and Teddy will sleep through the whole thing – just like I did when I lived there!
We hope that you took a little time this past week to use the photo I gave you last Thursday as inspiration in order to write a poem to share with us. I wrote mine and below is the photo we all used and my poem.
“Visible In Space!”
Poem by Angel Sammy Kimmell ©November 25, 2020
Look at those lights – they’re all over the place!
No doubt this home is visible up in space…………
Every inch of property is covered in lights
Their electric bill must truly be a fright
But they don’t mind this is a holiday fun
It’s not just for THEM but for EVERYONE!
The most popular house for a Christmas tour
You can hardly ignore it – that’s for sure!
The joy of the season shines from every inch
And overseeing it all is “himself” – the Grinch!
One thing for sure is that the night of Santa’s flight
He’ll definitely find this house – as follows the light!
HAHA. Well, I am sure these folks don’t care what the electric bill is – they have fun and that’s what’s important. They have spirit. I’m sure the whole neighborhood gets caught up in it too.
Now – did you write a poem? Let us know in comments won’t you? We’d love to read it. Don’t say “I can’t write poetry” because trust me – YOU CAN DO THIS! Give it a try……then share it with us.
Want to see the photo for NEXT Thursday’s poetic get-together? Here it is:
My Mom said she always wanted to go in the Fun House or Haunted House, etc. at a carnival but that her memory of what was INSIDE was not always FUN – sometimes it was VERY SCARY! I think this might make for some fun poetry don’t you?
Well my friends, our time has come and gone. I want to wish all of you a VERY HAPPY THANKSGIVING if you celebrate it – if you don’t – I’ll just THANK YOU for being our friend. See you next week and please continue to STAY SAFE.
Love, Angel Sammy
♥♥♥
Thank you Angel Sammy. I sure am thankful that you are my Angel Brother. You guide me every day. I always think “what would Sammy do?” or “what would Sammy think?”…….that has helped me grow up to be a good cat (Mom says anyway!).
Hugs, Teddy

Happy Thanksgiving!
That house will get a lot of drive past visitors for sure.. There was a man in the village who used to do the same every year. He had a donations box for the local hospice.
I used to like the Haunted House as a child, but no way, absolutely no way could I go into that clown’s mouth!! Clowns give me the shivers. I can remember going to the circus when I was probably 5 years old and a clown came up to me. I went into an absolute panic and have never liked them since.

Lot of people really don’t like clowns….they can be scary for sure. I love this photo because it reminds me of times past and things like traveling carnivals. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU AND IVOR!!

I agree with the touch … yum. For the slim minority out there who don’t like bacon, the pie could be made without it. But it brings that salt to combine with the sweet.

When I was growing up – wherever we were living at that time – there always seemed to be a “small town” carnival that came to town….rides, games, and always a “Fun House” or sometimes a “Haunted House”. I don’t see carnivals any more and certainly the Fun House is a thing of the past I should imagine…….but to a kid – it was just one of those things you’d “double dog dare” each other to do. I can remember funny mirrors that made you look weird, bridges to walk across that would wiggle and shake, things popping out of the walls to give you a fright…..they were all different but all fun. The Haunted House was something I would always AVOID until I got to be older – by then what could have been SCARY when I was little was just FUN as an older kid.

Sorry about the water heater – the house inspector should have found that and had the previous owner fix that before you guys moved in! Anyway, if you are happy, getting used to the surroundings, and glad to be there – then as they say “IT’S ALLLLL GOOD!!!”. Moving is a very tough thing…..you guys have moved before of course but it’s always different isn’t it. Can’t wait to see more photos of the place once you’re all set. It’s such a big house………… Hope your THANKSGIVING was nice!
