American Thankgiving

We have celebrated their Thanksgiving since 1984 when we were shopping in Ferndale Washington by chance and were given 10 lb potatoes and all the trimmings for thanksgiving dinner as a thank you for buying a turkey at the CostCutter store. We start our day by watching the Macy's Parade in New York City. The floats are gigantic and the huge balloons had to be tethered down by 32 handlers and flown very low due to higher winds.
We had 12 for dinner outside, the day was perfect and everyone's favourite recipes were to die for.
This startled me when I saw these orange Poinsettias in the grocery store celebrating Thanksgiving and Autumn. We grew them in our Brown Bros. Greenhouses at Haney as a red Christmas flower decoration.
