It's time again for Tuesday 4 hosted by Anne from Cottage by the sea. Published each week in memory of Toni Taddeo, it's original author.We keep Toni Taddeo's original idea alive here with 4 questions each week to get you blogging, visiting and  learning about yourself and other bloggers.   The more people join in, the merrier and the better it gets. We are always looking for topics, subjects and ideas so feel free to chime in if you have ideas. 

Thanksgiving Day is about here. Let's talk about the holiday and thankfulness.

1. Whether you are from the USA or not, thankfulness is beneficial to a nation and people.  Is it a natural thing for you to think of being thankful or is it something you must be reminded about? I am naturally given to being thankful. 

2.  Plimoth Plantation is the site of the original settlement and everything is authentic to the 1600's including how they speak. Have you been to Plymouth Rock?  Yes, and I must say I was a bit disappointed. Haha! I don't know what I was expecting, but it certainly wasn't what I saw. I get how time, erosion, etc play a part. But still. There should be warning signs...prepare to be disappointed...it's not what you think.  How about the Plimoth Plantation (yes that is the proper spelling). We did not visit there. Would you like to go visit these places?   We were there last October, though only for a short time so we didn't see much. I wish we had. I was fascinated by the fact that I was seeing it spelled two different ways and that both are correct. In fact this makes me think I need to go edit my blog post that I recently finished. I didn't mention the spelling difference. Thanks for the reminder.   What places are you thankful for having seen?  I am so thankful for the many places I've been able to see. Switzerland, Italy, various US states. I know that not everyone is able to or even wants to.     

This is where the Plymouth Rock is viewed...I was thinking HUGE! However, look below. That is what met my eye. 

Above info on the area. 

This is either the Mayflower replica or the Mayflower II replica. I can't remember. 

3. Do you tune into the Macy's Parade ? No,  not really. I would watch it, but usually the gals are cooking and the guys are all watching football. 

4. What will you be eating on Thanksgiving Day this year? This year we are having the usual...turkey, stuffing, gravy, my from scratch Green Bean Casserole, mashed potatoes, my MIL is making a dumpling called Knupfli (sp?) and we'll also have rolls, some veggies and dip, and a few other things.
