Just journaling here. Last night, our 8 year old niece was here and she was telling Wolfie about the "Thanksgiving Story" that her teacher had told the class.
Wolfie told her that story was bogus and that the real Thanksgiving story was that some white folks came to our home and they were starving because the Indians owned all the Fred Meyers and other grocery stores. The white folks kept trying to get food, but none of us Indians were dumb enough to take an out-of-state check, much less ones from England. Finally, one of the Indian leaders came up with the idea of issuing all of the Pilgrims credit cards at 25% interest so they could buy food and not starve.
Everyone was so happy with the situation that they had a big feast and that is the first "Thanksgiving".
Of course our neice got all discombubulated and I chewed Wolfie out because he always teases her like this and doesn't know when to quit. Still--it was hard to chew him out when I was laughing so hard about his story.
Thanksgiving is coming up and that is the first "bad annaversary date" to overcome.
Last year, on Thanksgiving Wolfie was telling me about giving some advice on how to cook a turkey to one of the woman at his work. Alarm bells were going off in the back of my head about the way he was rambling on a little nervously about the whole thing. Something sounded false and hollow in his voice.
Of course, now I know why the alarm bells and red flags started then, that is when his ff situation becase an EA.
Any suggestions on significant was to reclaim this date?
