• Thanksgiving-What'sUP November 23 - 08:38 am

When Sharon Smith sent in this beautiful sunset over Copper Harbor, I knew what day I was going to use it for, immediately. I thought it would be a great photo for Thanksgiving day, to help everyone start out the morning with a peaceful scene, before all the hustle of the holiday begins. We, as Americans, have so much to be thankful for, beginning with our military personnel, especially those that are away from home and not able to spend time in thanksgiving with their family. Without these brave men and women, we wouldn't have many of the freedoms that we are blessed with each day.

No matter what time of the day it is when you view Sharon's outstanding sunset, pause in your busyness and reflect on what you're thankful for on this Thanksgiving Day, 2012. Feel free to tell us if you'd like, maybe it will remind others of the simple things we need to be appreciative of, too.

Happy & Blessed Thanksgiving Day to All!

Just saw this recently on Sharon's site....Beautiful!!

Yes indeed, Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Sharon, Your photo is splendid and offers so much peace.

I am thankful for all the simple blessings! Such as my eyesight to enjoy all that nature offers, for the ability to walk, a healthy body, family and friends, my freedom, a warm home, wonderful food and I could go on and on and on....like pasty.com, the internet, being born in the great U.P. .................... HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL..HAPPY HEALTHY DAYS TO ALL OF YOU AS WELL.

Breathtaking!!!! I am so thankful for all of the blessings in my life that money can't buy. My family and friends are priceless! Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!

For nature's beauty, friends, family and blessed memories, thanks
be to God.

Forgot to wish it on this 'page', so HAPPY THANKSGIVING to one and all!

Thank you, Mary and Sharon, for this perfectly beautiful picture of peace and calm on this Thanksgiving Day! May all the Pasty Friends have a blessed Thanksgiving! :-)

I too am thankful for the simple blessings that money can't buy: for "pinky" sunsets and sunrises, for the songs of the chickadees and cardinals and robins in our yard, for the smells of pine trees and tomato stems and camp fires, for the sight of a flat rock skipping across a lake and for sunshine sparkles on the water in the morning, for ferns and lilies of the valley and wild violets, for wild blueberries and sugarplums ... for precious memories, for hugs from my family and friends, for the sweet voice of my grandaughter on the telephone ... For these and all the other blessings you have provided, thank you dear Lord! :-)

sixty years ago today, I was eating my turkey meal sitting on my helmet at the front lines during tha Korean War.Makes one feel thankfull to be enjoying the day at homne.

Happy Thanksgiving every one. We have so much to be thankfull for. Thanks for sharing this great picture, Sharon!

I'm thankful to be here, and to live in a place where I can see things like this in person. Happy Thanksgiving to the Pasty Cam community!

Happy Thanksgiving to all

Happy Thanksgiving to all in PastyLand this fine day!!

The Dr. and I are all alone this year, so we bought a little turkey breast and smaller amounts of the associated goodies one has with turkey. I figure since I've dropped a significant amount of weight the past year, I don't want to pile it all back on....

You're not alone Capt. & Dr. Nat...Happy T-Day!
And it is a fine day, mid 50s and sunny in SE-MI.

Happy Thanksgiving to all from the West Coast!

Thank you Sharon for a beautiful picture on this Thanksgiving Day. I read your journal everyday.

Similar to Ozzie, 44 yrs ago my brother & I aboard the USS Long Beach CG(N)9 spent Thanksgiving out-running a typhoon on the Philippine Sea, enroute to VietNam (1st cruise), had 30 Deg. rolls with dinner.

Ah, even this Wildcat is there with you in spirit,
Capt Paul & Dr Nat!

May everyone's Thanksgiving be blessed with the
knowledge of the abundance we have in America, and
Who that abundance comes from. And if you have
spent the day apart from family and friends, as we
have also, let it remind us of those who we cherish.
Until we meet again.....

Happy Thanksgiving to Yoopers near and far. What a wonderful world!

The veterans who have mentioned their Thanksgiving
dinners remind me once again to thank them for their
service in protecting America. We are thankful for
you!

And i think back to WWII and wonder what kind of
Thanksgiving dinner my Dad 'enjoyed' in Germany in
1944. He had been sent to the 'quiet sector' which
would shortly erupt into the Battle of the Bulge.

What a perfectly lovely picture for Thanksgiving Day!

God bless your Dad, jbuck, for his service! Sure hope he survived that terrible Battle.

Since Thanksgiving occurred on November 22 this year, I thought people might be interested in reading President Kennedy's final Thanksgiving Proclamation he gave in 1963 (you'll have to scroll down the page a ways):

That's very touching, Thomas, thank you for posting it. I believe JFK really loved this country....after all, he fought for it. He got my vote way back then.

Shirley, I'm pretty convinced Kennedy would have been a 2-term President.

He had my vote, also. I loved him and I still eat up everything I can about him. Also loved RFK. I was so terribly sad when he got shot. I often wonder how our country would be today if none of that had happened. I'm pretty sure it would be a better place :-(

The link to President Kennedy's 1963 Thanksgiving Proclamation
has changed, so here's a different link to it.
