Thanksgiving on the High Lonesome

I have many things to be thankful for.

A warm house, a grand nation, the freedom to keep and bear arms of my chosing.

Biscuits and sausage with pan gravy for breakfast.

A hearty barley soup for supper.

Not a single need for banal pleasantries with those I can barely stand. Instead, I have had plenty of time to rest after a long grueling run at work--129 hours over 13 days; another thing I am grateful for.

Let peace, bonhomie, fellowship and good cheer be all your rewards, my fellow THR members.
 
It's gun related. There is a like to a photo of the man and his wife, both are packing revolvers and wearing badges.

Thanks for the link, I've go some good reading ahead of me.

Thanks the good old timey reading material! And I did see one of the articles named "Gunsights" so it is gun related!

Makes me think back to the unique Thanksgivings I spent overseas while deployed. Thanksgiving dinner in places like Germany, Kingdom of Jordan, Thailand, the Philippines, - all were memorable. It wasn't because of the place or the food that substituted for Turkey and and all the trimmings, but because it reinforced just how blessed I and all my teammates were to be citizens and volunteer, professional warriors for the greatest nation ever created in the history of mankind. It also makes me more determined to insure my Grandkids will carry on our family traditions, to thank the Good Lord for all the blessings they enjoy, and always remember that it was because of a LOT of hard work, sacrifice by so many that came before them.
 
My wife participates in a thing at work where they take cards from a tree and get the things on the cards for folks less fortunate. Some are toys and such, but some are not. Some are things as simple as kids boots, towels, a pillow and case. It really makes you think about the littlest things you take for granted every day and just how fortunate you really are.
Happy Thanksgiving everybody.

Our family had a memorable thanksgiving shortly after my grandfather retired from farming. It was late 60s. I was very young. My grandfather was an avid Quail hunter, and gardener.
Our entire family enjoyed a Thanksgiving day dinner of fried Quail, gravy, sweet corn, mashed potatoes, green beans, breaded tomatoes. All home-grown here on the farm.
I was too young to appreciate it all back then, but I certainly do now.
 
That reminds me of the Thanksgivings at my son and mines hunt camp many years ago. Camped in tents as high up on the mountain as we could go. The different parties would get together for Thanksgiving dinners. After eating we were too stuffed to hunt. Good memories.
