Thanksgiving

BOY, DO I LOVE FALL AND THANKSGIVING!!!!

Ahhhh.... Fall and Thanksgiving. I look back with fond memories of this time of the year growing up on Sussex. Spending hours raking leaves in the backyard and having them mixed together with rotten cherries and permenently staining your hands as you toss them into a garbage can.

Getting up at 6 AM Thanksgiving morning to deliver a newspaper that weighed 25 pounds each wile trying to avoid customers who wanted to pay you. Then getting hit over the head by a would-be thief because he thought that all paper boys had money (I never did... I never collected anything, but if I HAD money, I would have spent it on a Tastee Freeze shake.)

There I would be on a cold fall day, slumped over from the weight of my paper bag, slurping a shake that I held in my cherry stained hands, while looking over my shoulder to make certain some fool didn't mistake me for having money.

BOY, DO I HATE FALL AND THANKSGIVING!!!
