Thought this was too cute not to share. I wish all my Armstrong cousins and their extended families a very happy, healthy and fulFILLING Thanksgiving. Cousin Marilyn 88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 Thanksgiving Forecast Turkeys will thaw in the morning, then warm in the oven to an afternoon high near 190F. The kitchen will turn hot and humid, and if you bother the cook, be ready for a severe squall or cold shoulder. During the late afternoon and evening, the cold front of a knife will slice through the turkey, causing an accumulation of one to two inches on plates. Mashed potatoes will drift across one side while cranberry sauce creates slippery spots on the other. Please pass the gravy. A weight watch and indigestion warning have been issued for the entire area, with increased stuffiness around the beltway. During the evening, the turkey will diminish and taper off to leftovers, dropping to a low of 34F in the refrigerator. Looking ahead to Friday and Saturday, high pressure to eat sandwiches will be established. Flurries of leftovers can be expected both days with a 50 percent chance of scattered soup late in the day. We expect a warming trend where soup develops. By early next week, eating pressure will be low as the only wish left will be the bone.

I could be wrong, Marilyn, but I don't think that thanksgiving is celebrated in Australia. There are never advertisements for Turkeys etc for thanksgiving, just for Christmas. It would be a nice time of year. My cousins who live in Toronto, Canada, speak about getting together for Thanksgiving. Have to have the expanding belts on that day. Enjoy yourselves, I think it must be about the 28th November or thereabouts, isn't it.? Edie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marilyn R.

It's always the 4th Thursday in November in the US. In Canada it's celebrated on the 2nd monday in October.
