C & D.
It's more of the Memorial Day weekend than Memorial Day itself.
Memorial Day is a solemn day.
 
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 210
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 185
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 124


Happy April Finale! Today folks we move along and see that we have 210 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 185 days left until November and 124 days to go until The Bers. We move along in our Stress-Free Spring with our next milestone set to arrive tomorrow. It will be when May Arrives. It’s Thursday folks so time for our Weekly Countdown till Thanksgiving. And today folks is almost as big as it gets (except for halfway) and that is 30 weeks until Thanksgiving. Unbelievable. We have moved through the 30s and have reached this big day. And the end of April is here. The 1st third is about to end. Right now, my friends are in a very interesting spot. A big turning point. Most of us think of Memorial Day Weekend being THE turning point of the Non-Bers year and it is but I think we should recognize that we are rounding the corner now and should embrace the changes we are now going into. If you don’t think May is huge turning point folks on this website and in this thread, I don’t know what to tell you, but it is. That’s why we had the first ever “Thirds Week” this year in the Hang Out. Enjoy the final day of April and of the 1st third my friends. I hope you make the most of this day. Have a great April Finale!​
 
I can't believe the very end of April is here. May is indeed a big turning point. I'm looking forward to "The Road" opening up! 22 days from today! It just doesn't seem possible!

And Happy Halfway to Halloween!
 
We have never had mac and cheese as a side for Thanksgiving. We have it for a side at Christmas if we do a ham or prime rib.
Shoot, if we don't have mac and cheese with EVERY meal, we want to know what's wrong. LOL
 
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 209
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 184
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 123


Happy May Arrives! Today folks we move along and see that we have 209 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 184 days left until November and 123 days to go until The Bers. We move along in our Stress-Free Spring with our next milestone arriving right here and now. The month of May has arrived! Our next milestone will be the 200-Day Marker till Thanksgiving which will fall on Mother’s Day. It’s Friday folks so time for our Fun Fact Friday below!

No one knows exactly how turkeys got their name. It is believed that Christopher Columbus took the bird to be a peacock due to its close resemblance and since East Indians used the word “tuka” for peacock, eventually the name got evolved to “turkey.” Another theory is that the turkey makes a ‘turk-turk’ sound instead of saying ‘gobble-gobble’ and hence the name ‘turkey’.

Well now you know (or maybe still don’t know) where turkey got its name from. But anyway, I hope everyone’s week has gone well and continues that way this Friday. I hope you enjoy this Friday. It’s a big one. Heading into the 1st weekend of the 2nd 3rd of the year. I like saying that third thing. That’s why we had thirds week in the Hang Out. Have a great May Arrives!​
 
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 208
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 183
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 122


Happy May Weekend! Today folks we move along and see that we have 208 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 183 days left until November and 122 days to go until The Bers. We move along in our Stress-Free Spring with our next milestone set to arrive 1 week from Sunday. It will be on Mother’s Day and the 200 Day Marker till Thanksgiving. It’s Saturday folks so time for the 1st half of our Quiet Weekend Period. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend so far as we move into a new time here. May feel so different. Just being in this month feels so different and knowing everything we have coming this month in this thread is very exciting. I hope you all had the best week ever and if not, I hope the weekend picks up and is great for you. I really enjoyed the Friday weather with sunshine. This weekend will be a bit on the cool side but for those complaining do you remember what winter was like? This “cool” weather isn’t anything you can’t handle. Trust me. Just put a light jacket on at most and you’re fine. And eventually we will reach the Summer Sweatfest. It comes every year so there is no rush. I hope you are all enjoying your Saturday. The best to you my turkey friends. Have a good one. Have a great May Weekend!​
 
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 207
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 182
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 121


Happy May Sunday! Today folks we move along and see that we have 207 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 182 days left until November and 123 days to go until The Bers. We move along in our Stress-Free Spring with our next milestone arriving 1 week from today. It will happen on Mother’s Day when the 200 Day Marker till Thanksgiving arrives. It’s Sunday folks so time for the 2nd half of our Quiet Weekend Period. The Sunday Group is heading to the baseball game. It’s always fun to do and the first one of the year for us. We have 2 others planned this summer. It should be fun. But like I’ve said and thought to myself, the Sunday Group has become one of the highlights of my week every week. It’s just awesome the amazing and fun things we do all year (and how much fun we have every week doing them). Turkey friends I hope your Sunday goes well and that you are ready to enjoy it no matter what your plans are. It’s been a good week here and I hope you have had a good one too. Today we click on to Sunday and think turkey thoughts like we do every single day. I hope you are all doing well turkey friends and stay tuned in the Hang Out the next 2 weeks for a lot of turkey talk and fun Thanksgiving stuff. Have a great May Sunday!​
 
Can't believe we see the big 200 days to Thanksgiving on Sunday!

And Halfway to Thanksgiving has been on my mind for a while!

I'm really ready for the major turning point month! Have a great Sunday!
 
This Thanksgiving my family is having crock pot lasagna. It was really good this past week and i look forward to that meal. Does anyone else get tired of turkey and the same thing every year?
I do get tired of some of the same things....but not the turkey. My mom will throw in a lasagna every couple of years to give us a little something extra.
 
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 206
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 181
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 120


Happy May The 4th Be With You! Today folks we move along and see that we have 206 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 181 days left until November and 120 days to go until The Bers. We move along in our Stress-Free Spring with our next milestone set to arrive on Mother’s Day with the 200 Day Marker till Thanksgiving. It’s Monday folks so it’s time for YouTube Day below!



A little funny YouTube clip today. I’ve been finding a lot of these random people joking around about Thanksgiving Preparation and having fun with it. I think they are like us and love the holiday and try to have fun with it. We’ll get into some more parades and cartoons though coming soon on Mondays here as we approach some very special weeks in this month of May. I hope you all enjoy your day, my friends and the start to your week. I hope you had a great weekend as well as moving along here on Star Wars Day as some people may call it. The best to you my turkey friends to start off a new week here on Monday. Enjoy your day and may the 4th be with you today and every day going forward. Have a great May The 4th Be With You!​
 
Never. But we only have it once a year.

I don't think I ever get tired of Christmas / Thanksgiving foods. We do a couple of "big" Christmas meals throughout the year, usually when the weekend falls on the 25th, and I never get tired of it. We were at Costco on Saturday and they were handing out samples of their mac and cheese! No way did I turn my nose to it! Have a great Monday!
