Thankful...

This year I am thankful for a fully-cooked, no-need-to-reheat turkey that arrived on my doorstep via the United States Post Office (courtesy of my family).  One more year of not having to attempt cooking a turkey.  Thank you! 

Top 5 things born in 1775...

(This post was really just to say happy birthday to the Marines, but since it's a Top 5 post, I will continue.  Prepare yourselves for randomness.)

    2.  Jane Austen.
    3.  The modern toilet.
    4.  Johnny Appleseed.
    5.  Pencils.
