Fellow Listers, It is very close to Thanksgiving. I live in New England. This is where the Mayflower docked. I descend through some families that came on the Mayflower. Since I live in Massachusettes, I know that on Cape Cod are numerous cranberry bogs. This would be Ocean Spray now. Anyway there were many Indian tribes that lived on Cape Cod. Cranberries went with Thanksgiving dinner because they were so plentiful in this area. We were introduced to cranberries and corn and popcorn and wild turkey,amongst other things. On Cape Cod is a place called Plymouth Plantation. On Plymouth Plantation is a village that is set up just like in the days of the Mayflower. They dress, talk and do everyday things just like they just got off the Mayflower. It is a village with houses, farm animals, and every day things just like in the days of yore. If you talk to someone there, they answer you in the language of those days. Can you imagine what a feast all these people had cooking in the old and the new ways. This past summer I took my daughter on a trip. I met a young man from England. His name was Mark. I said "Mark, you are from England and I am from NEW England." His reply, "Madame, there is only ONE England and "I" am from it" It made me happy that I am here and I know why we came. Anyway this was just a short note to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving everyone, Maureen
