[Oe List ...] Thanksgiving Treasures

[Beret Griffith]

Thank you to Sandra for opening the gates of Thanksgiving. The 
expressions of thanks and stories told are treasures. To add another 
couple of lines to the growing body of "thanking" work, from Rabbi 
Rami M. Shapiro.

"We give thanks to Life.
May we never lose touch wit the simple joy and wonder
of sharing a meal."
Taken from Earth Prayers from Around the World: 365 Prayers, Poems, 
and Invocations for Honoring the Earth

It feels like we are in the midst of sharing a "cyber" Thanksgiving 
meal together.

And a short story. I actually got to know Ron a bit working in the 
kitchen at Kemper in November of 1975. Cooking turkeys. We were 
fetching a large cooked bird from the kitchen on the 6th floor, 
wheeling it down the hall on a low serving cart heading to the main 
elevator, not thinking of the slight change in floor elevation (down) 
when passing through the railing. The cart dipped, the turkey flew 
off the cart and slid across the floor. Ron and I slipped and slid in 
the grease, had a good laugh, picked up the turkey and took it down 
stairs to be served.

Now I have to find my "yak tracks" to be able to navigate on the expected ice.
