Happy Thanksgiving..

Today is the day we celebrate and give thanks for the food that we have the place that we live..

Indians helped the pilgrims find food for the winter.. and to thank them the pilgrims gave them a dinner.

Then the proptly stole their land and killed the indians ... calling them savages, and heatherns.. Why because they were not christians.. I guess that means to the christians that if you dont do what we do.. say what we say.. live like we live..judge like we judge.. will then your just not worth the salt their god supposidtly put in the earth

My family history derivies from so many places.. I have a great grandmother who was a cherokee indian ... i have family that came from Scotland about 6 generations back.. theres also , English, and French I'm told

I guess that makes me a mutt.. So what family history do I follow..

As an American born and bred.. We have lost all of the traditions of our ancestorys..
we have no idea how they even lived.. what they believed.. or anything else about them

I know that from my history that the indians believed in more then one goddess/god.
I also know that the Scots had Pagan gods
So I choose to follow a pagan path.. I did some research and found that my faternal grandmother whose madian name was McCaig was the part of my family from Scotland.. and that the Mc Caig family was part of the Clan Mc Cloud .. no kidding.. I'm decended from members of the clan McCloud.. Watch out Duncan and Conner.. Lmao

Any way.. I am sitting here putting on my makeup getting ready to go to my aunts for thanksgiving, and thinking .. I miss the big family gatherings of my childhood.
When my family would go to my grandmas for all hoildays .. My moms sisters and borhters... their wives/husbands and their kids... Now my brothers and sisters dont even come for holidays.. That is because they live so far away truthfully..
I mean with my mom, me, and my kids living in TN.. and my brother and sister in Il..and my dad and my other bro in KS its a not like you can hope in the car and be here in 10 min anymore..

That all Change when my grandma passed away in 1997 .. I miss her even today and its 12 yrs later.. But we all have to go sometime.Grandma who was Edith Juanita Pittman Brooks went by the way of cancer.. Lung cancer that traveled to her brain to be exact..

I do believe that she comes by at time and visits us.. to check up on her family.. She was a wonderful woman..

So now its a little after noon.. and we have to be at my aunts at 2pm.. so I need to get my son moving in the shower and ready to go.. Myself too..

Alex and her husband Nathan will be here this eventing.. I am happy.. I'll tell you more about Alex later.. my 18 yr old who is married and moving out for the first time.. Man does that make me feel old.


So I hope every one has a great thanksgiving and I'll talk to you later on..

Blessed be
