Well-seasoned holiday

 

I remember the first Thanksgiving I spent married to the most wonderful man on God’s green Earth. It was 1980. We feasted on my mother’s turkey with dressing and pumpkin pie. But that year it was extra special. We were at the beginning of a pilgrimage, together.

That Thanksgiving day led to a cornucopia of delights. We shared a lot of good times since then, but more important, we shared unconditional love.

Traditional Thanksgiving puts things in perspective for me. It is a day when I can remember, with joy, just how much I have to be thankful for. It’s funny how you look back and see it was all in God’s plan.

Although he was a little older than I was, circumstances allowed my husband and me to enjoy life at the same pace. We lived a life that was perfectly seasoned. My husband put things on the table, and with memories of our first Thanksgiving together, I will give thanks again!

    Juneteenth — a celebration of freedom

    Juneteenth, also known as Emancipation Day, is the oldest known celebration commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, the Union soldiers landed at Galveston, Texas with the news that the war had ended and freed all remaining slaves. Note that this was two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation — which had become official on Jan. 1, 1863.

  • Bees not news

    Re the June 16 story Miami couple saddened after bee hive destroyed: It must have been a slow news day for the Miami Herald. This article took up two-thirds of a page in the newspaper’s local section.

  • Bees could be saved

    An experienced bee keeper could have moved the beehive to a less troublesome location; perhaps on the couple’s property where they could continue to enjoy the bees and the bees could continue to do their good work.
