Thank you, dear subscribers...
.. and Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate this holiday!
Lightening Up for the Holidays!
For the holiday season, I’ve decided to post cartoons that are just for laughs. No deep meaning, no message, just a little comic relief from the bottomless pit of mind-boggling madness we wade through each day. ENJOY!
My cat Bobby is thankful as well.
I will show him this wonderful cartoon when he wakes up !!!
Thanks Anne for keeping us smiling !!!
"It has pleased Almighty God to prolong our national life another year, defending us with His guardian care against unfriendly designs from abroad and vouchsafing to us in His mercy many and signal victories over the enemy, who is of our own household.
...
Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, do hereby appoint and set apart the last Thursday in November next as a day which I desire to be observed by all my fellow-citizens, wherever they may then be, as a day of thanksgiving and praise to Almighty God, the beneficent Creator and Ruler of the Universe. And I do further recommend to my fellow-citizens aforesaid that on that occasion they do reverently humble themselves in the dust and from thence offer up penitent and fervent prayers and supplications to the Great Disposer of Events for a return of the inestimable blessings of peace, union, and harmony throughout the land which it has pleased Him to assign as a dwelling place for ourselves and for our posterity throughout all generations."
