Finally!!! I can get back to my blog. Bas here, Mom has been hogging the computer for the last month all because of baseball. For a solid month she's been screaming and yelling for those so called Texas Rangers. Apparently they made it to the World Series for the first time ever. I don't get it, if it's the World Series why aren't countries other than the US playing. Mom explained that it represents players from all over the world and really it's just a title that helps to let you know it's different from the colleges....whatever. Of course, she's also been yelling about this football thing, too. I think I may as well give up on Mom till after February when football's over. Since I've trying to keep up with Mom and her craziness, I've been exploring some of the American traditions....baseball, football, Christmas, and I happened to discover one tradition that's right up my alley..Thanksgiving. A day to give thanks and a day filled with FOOD....I am so in!!!
Thanksgiving is a day to give thanks for all you have been blessed with for the year...family, friends, dogs, bones, etc. It´s also to celebrate a bountiful harvest. Now I agree with appreciating what I´ve been blessed with family, friends, and bones..but the harvest thing, well frankly, I don´t like veggies anyway. Apparently, way, way back in the old days settlers in America decided to celebrate the great harvest with their indian (Native American) friends. To celebrate they threw a great big feast. And Americans have been celebrating ever since. Nowadays, they celebrate with family and friends. Everyone gathers cause everybody´s off since it´s a national holiday and everyone eats till they bust. I´M IN!!! Then they watch parades and football all day, while nibbling on leftovers for the next 3 or 4 days. Like there will be leftovers with me around.
Mom says it´s one of her favorite holidays and she has lots to be thankful for like Dad and me, of course. She´s also thankful for all her new family, friends and new adventures. I think Mom is planning a Thanksgiving Dinner here..apparently you can have turkey, ham, chicken, duck, pork...just about anything on Thanksgiving. Plus a stuffing, sweet potatoes and lots of yummy desserts. I can´t wait to see what Mom makes...and I know I´ll get a plate, too. If I don´t, well let´s just say they´d better keep an eye on their plates or something might just end up missing. I´m not saying I´m a thief...I´m a Master Thief...just asked Dad how many broodjes he´s lost.
Well, time for me to go and I´ll let you know more about this dinner as time gets closer. Man, I´m drooling already...well ok, I´m normally drooling.
