Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you US TPunks...wherever you are in the world today! Whether you're spending it with family, friends or just some random stranger on the street.
I'm very thankful for this great community, for the friends I've met & have yet to meet!
I am thankful for all ya'll too!!!!
I'm home here in Jackson then heading up to Ft. Wayne on Saturday. Been watching the Macy's Parade all morning and making homemade noodles!
Have a great one everyone!!!
This is my absolute favorite holiday! So much that when i couldn't go home for thanksgiving last year due to my crazy University schedule, i hosted The First Annual Orphan Thanksgiving. Today marks the Second Annual Orphan Thanksgiving. I'm expecting about 30 people including Monsignor and The Jake!
Have a very Happy Holiday those of you in the US!!
That's cool! A Tpunk Thanksgiving!
I hope everyone else is having a good one
--Joey
That's awesome. This is the first year I didn't go home for Thanksgiving. I went to an early Thanksgiving CouchSurfing potluck on Sunday, so that was fun. Today I just sat around and relaxed in my apartment. Hope everyone else is having an enjoyable holiday!
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

I just made it back from SD's 2nd Annual Orphan Thanksgiving - and it was fantastic, as usual!
If you guys can make it for one, I highly recommend you attend!
Thanks again Beth!

yeah sorry about that. I figured since Thanksgiving was winding down I wouldn't really need to go back and edit my monstrosity. Lesson learned, I'll just delete spam from now on
Glad everyone had a good one!

That's amazing you had that many people Beth. You are a wonderful person to do that. I love to cook & I even volunteered to cook the meal this year for my family, but I'm pretty sure I'd have a nervous breakdown if I had to cook for 30!
