Afternoon all! We have arrived in the wilds of N Quebec safe and sound. Looks like we are the last group for the year in their bear/moose camp. I barely got done griping about unloading and the girl was at a dead run for the lake to go fishing. My buddy brought 2 camera guys with him for a hunting article and videos for their '23 dvd. My aunt says I was born 2 centuries late..lol. Will check in tomorrow!
It makes me smile just thinking about how awesome it must have been!
Don't worry it's staying. Thursday is the #1 day of the week we should be reflecting on Thanksgiving throughout the year!
Your aunt is the best CW!
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 47
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 24
Happy October Weekend! Today folks we have 47 days until Thanksgiving and 24 days left until November. Our next milestone will be 2 weeks from today. Yes, it will still be in October thankfully but it will be the “Home Stretch” till November. Right now I can’t think about it or fathom that. It’s hard to imagine as we continue through our Awesome Autumn. And certainly it’s moving along but also if you enjoy a lot of the little moments of it then it will make it last longer which seems to work also. And it looks like our new concept of “Thanksgiving Thought Thursday” will be a staple here. This week our thought was Thanksgiving always being on a Thursday and how much we enjoy it. What will next week’s be? Only time will tell. But right now I’m focused on this weekend as I am sure all of you are as well after a long and crazy week. Time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the weekend. And enjoy this thread. But that you can do 365 days out of the year. And I thank all of you who have been here for most of (if not all) the 300+ days of this thread thus far. Don’t worry though we still have the home stretch to go. We’re still a good 6 weeks away from the weekend before Thanksgiving (our final stop until Thanksgiving Week). So we have a lot of weeks left. But folks I kind of miss when we had 50 weeks and 40 weeks and 30 weeks and 20 weeks. But this is what happens when we reach Autumn. Have a great October Weekend!

I've tried to be on here every day! Sometimes I may not post but I always read!
This thread, and The Bers and Daily Holiday Hangout are my main hangout places outside of our Halloween thread and the main Christmas countdown.
I hate to see the counts dwindling down but the passage of time is a fact of life. And sometimes I think "counting down" can be just as much fun as the holiday itself.
I think this year went by really fast but I think that's because after we got the news that Holly was pregnant, the time really flew by. It's got the unfortunate side effect as well of making Autumn go by too fast.
Have a great day! Gobble Gobble time very soon!

I am 50% excited and 50% panicked/shocked!
Same. My morning routine before work is to grab a cup of coffee and sit down and cycle through those very same threads. Sometimes I am short on time and can't post, so I just read through them. And occasionally I'll get a late start and will have to miss a day or two.
It is so very weird to be here with less than 50 days until November. We counted down all year long, and while the first half of the year seemed to take forever, the time it has taken to get here from July has been nothing at all.
I'm trying to savor and enjoy all of it because it will be over all too soon, and we'll be back at that 50 week marker again soon enough. Thankfully, that will be in the "bonus months." Admittedly, my mind is more focused on Halloween right now than Thanksgiving, but that will change immediately on November 1st.
Morning all! Feels like Turkey day here since its 37° and overcast. Well..the girl filled her bear tag this morning with a monstrous thing. I leave after lunch for moose..I had to wait till somebody filled a tag to get a camera man.Hope everybody has a great day.
Same here! Maybe leaning towards 70% excited 30% panicked
.
The passage of time is an interesting topic...that always amazes me. I think that why it goes so fast though is because we're all so busy with work, family, friends, bills, responsibilities, errands, hobbies, and then you throw in holiday stuff like the next 3 Sundays (after tomorrow) I have a Halloween event to attend. And the busier you are the time goes faster. That's why I just said something today (half kidding) to my sister when I saw her "I can't wait for January." lol...I was kidding mostly of course but told her with our brother coming from San Diego in December like usual on top of all the Halloween activities, getting ready for Thanksgiving, of course, etc. it just feels like we're racing. The reason people ask why winter seems to go slower (especially January) is because...people don't want to go out as much. Less running around, activities, holidays, outdoors stuff that you do in spring/summer/fall. So that's one thing we have to look forward to about our "Winter Doldrums" which will be January 1 - March 16th will be the time will go slower than it is now.
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 46
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 23
Happy October Sunday! Today folks we have 46 days until Thanksgiving and 23 days until November. Our next milestone will be in less than 2 weeks from now when we reach the Home Stretch Till November. That’s right it will be the final 10 days then but don’t worry that’s still a long time from now. Right now we’re all focused simply on today. Right? And the rest of this weekend. And enjoying this time of year. It’s a great time of year for sure. All of us fans of the Halloween Season are enjoying it. And all of us turkey fans in this thread are still smug at how we haven’t reached November yet (and won’t for another 3+ weeks). That’s a good thing. I need a lot more time to even prepare myself for it. And I know all of you do as well. But we’ll be here in our Awesome Autumn helping each other through it and getting each other ready for it as we get closer and closer. It’s amazing how the time moves on but still we try to keep it slow as possible. So we have each other here on this Sunday to enjoy and reflect. Hopefully relax, maybe have a good meal today too? Not quite a Thanksgiving meal but something that will hold you over. And then we’ll move into a new week here in this thread and keep it moving. All turkey fans have a great Sunday here in the month of October with our true month of November still in front of us. Have a great October Sunday!

I have Chicken and Noodles started in the InstaPot, it is one of my favorites and it makes a big batch, enough to share with anyone who may drop by while my BIL and nephew are here combining, and still have leftovers.
I keep checking ads to see if anyone has posted their Thanksgiving Meals, and for sales on turkeys, etc... I know it could be any day now, or they could keep me waiting until November!
Here's a question that I'll just throw out this morning: Does anyone else here have a Thanksgiving or November playlist?
It sounds weird, but I am always looking for songs to add to my many Bers playlists. I also "theme" my playlists, so for example -- my November playlist starts off with more Fall-like songs before hitting the big theme of Thanksgiving, and then transitions into more winter-themed songs and a couple of "Christmas anticipation" songs at the end.

I have wondered if they have been waiting because of what prices have been doing and they don't want to commit to a price that will make them lose money. With all the turkeys that have had to be destroyed because of the avian flu, they also might not know about supply.
It will be very soon!
Nice!
Very true, and I think November 1st gives me (and everyone else) plenty of time to make our decisions. I have already been pondering having ham if I do choose to cook, mostly because I feel it gives me more options for the leftovers for the long weekend that follows.
