Hope You All Eat Like Elvis!
and have a fantastic day! It tickles my heart to know that CMB will have companionship for the holidays too. :-D
I'm going home to the mountains and valleys of Virginia and all my kin. Going to spoil my nieces and nephews, giggle and carry on with my sisters, see how round my youngest sister is getting with a baby on board( grandkid #7 for my folks)watch ballgames and movies with my Paw, hike in the woods to some waterfalls, help my mom cook, beat my brother-in-law's ass at pool, get MaMaw to tell me her stories, and have alot of fun.
I'll take the camera along. Might be some good pix from hiking our old home place.
Remember to get your Christmas lists ready and Hannukah lists too! I am going to sit on Santa's Lap this year and get my picture taken. I'm going to lift up his beard first to check and see if its Capn Bobo under there. And if its not, I'll jump up and yell real loud "You're NOT the real Santa Claus! Now how am I supposed to get new coconut shells and a grass skirt?" LOL

You probably won't have to lift Santa's beard to tell if it's Bobo or not. Sitting in his lap should tell you all you need to know.

Have a good one Dana, and say hi to the hills for me. Elliott's Knob was still there two weeks ago. I expect it still is.

SEATTLE, Washington (Reuters) -- Thanksgiving dinner with all the
fixings: cranberry sauce, stuffing and turkey gravy-flavored soda.
Yummy?

In the latest food fad to emerge in the United States, Seattle
specialty soda maker Jones Soda Co. scored a hit this week with the
introduction of a limited batch of Turkey & Gravy-flavored soda.

The tan-colored soda sold out in just three hours after an initial
batch was put up for sale on the company's Web site Friday, a
spokeswoman for the company said.

Proceeds from the online sale, where two bottles of Turkey & Gravy
soda sold for about $11, were donated to Toys for Tots, a children's
charity. Local retailers will start selling the soda Monday.

Jones Soda said it would be up to local stores to set prices for
Turkey & Gravy soda. Other sodas from the company typically cost $1 to

$1.50.

This isn't the company's first experiment in exotic carbonation. Fish
tacos and ham flavors have also been offered as promotional soda
flavors.

Hope everyone has a great time sharing Thanksgiving with their families and friends.
Dana I just recieved the Thank You card and it meant so much to me. You are very welcome for the maps. I hope they get you back to this area so we can hike together soon.

There is a place where, no matter what you eat during the holidays, you'll never gain any weight.

Robert Goulet on the screen? Now that would get the remotes going in a big hurry all over the nation. ERs would be swamped by people with thumb strain. TV repairmen would have to work overtime to replace shattered screens. Oh the humanity!

Have a great day, everyone. Hope all of you going on trips this weekend have lots of stories to tell and pics to share. (I'm city bound this Thanksgiving :( - the good news is I get 2 turkey dinners- one on Thursday and one on Saturday!) I need to plan some kick butt backpacks to shed the extra poundage! Happy Thanksgiving!
