Thanksgiving eve... I am a rich man. [View all]

My 120 pound English lab is in my lap (not fat that is just the way she is … I know dogs), going to a
thanksgiving dinner with my mom tomorrow …. she might not remember it, and I’m going to work
on one of my ecological restoration projects this afternoon. And I will spend part of the weekend
with my son, daughter in law, their daughters, and watch OSU vs Michigan.

Btw my favorite poem:

Cow
by Robert Louis Stevenson

The friendly cow all red and white,
I love with all my heart:
She gives me cream with all her might,
To eat with apple tart.
She wanders lowing here and there,
And yet she cannot stray,
All in the pleasant open air,
The pleasant light of day;
And blown by all the winds that pass
And wet with all the showers,
She walks among the meadow grass
And eats the meadow flowers.

If you change the cow's colors to red and gray it would be much better. Irish_Dem Nov 26 #1
