DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 65
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 39
Happy Awesome Autumn! Today folks we move along and see that we have 65 days remaining until Thanksgiving and 39 days to go until November. We move along in our Awesome Autumn with our next milestone arriving on Thursday with Tom Turkey Day #10. It’s Tuesday folks so time for our Picture Day. Are you ready for it? I hope so. It’s officially autumn now, friends, so the pictures will mean even more now of autumn and Thanksgiving. All our favorite stuff that we are just beginning to enjoy with so many great things to come. Turkey friends I hope you are enjoying your Tuesday and your week so far. I wish you well here this Tuesday as we move along into day 2 of the week. I hope that the start of your week has got off well and that you continue in that direction today my friends. Turkey friends the best to you on the 2nd day of the week. And enjoy all those signs of autumn out there. The weather is going to feel more like summer today, but those days will still change from time to time as the weather is always very fickle this time of year as seasons try to change. The old season fights back as the new season pushes in. That’s the battle Mother Nature has for us every single year. It’s a change of the seasons my friends. Get ready for it as it tries to push in. Have a great Awesome Autumn!

So this is kind of hilarious.
For picture day, I wanted Gemini (that's Google's AI) to create a picture of "a Broadway play about Thanksgiving." Instead, when I gave it the prompt, it actually wrote an entire synopsis about this fictional Thanksgiving musical instead. So for my "picture day" offering today, I give you "The Great Gobbler Gala," as told by AI.
"The Great Gobbler Gala" is a hit Broadway musical that transforms the traditional Thanksgiving dinner into a spectacular, high-energy stage production.
Act I opens in the bustling kitchen of the Cranberry family, a multi-generational household preparing for their annual Thanksgiving feast. Mrs. Cranberry, a matriarch with a heart of gold and a voice that could fill Radio City Music Hall, orchestrates the chaos. We meet her quirky family: a cynical teenage daughter glued to her phone, a bumbling but well-meaning husband, and a set of eccentric grandparents who keep reliving past Thanksgivings.
As the family struggles with a stubborn turkey and a collapsing pumpkin pie, a dramatic overture swells, and the stage transforms into a vibrant, stylized representation of their home. The ensemble, dressed as various Thanksgiving dishes – dancing green beans, tap-dancing sweet potatoes, and a chorus of singing dinner rolls – burst onto the stage in a dazzling opening number, "Gravy Train to Gratitude."
The central conflict arises when Mrs. Cranberry's estranged brother, a flamboyant celebrity chef named Chef Antoine, unexpectedly arrives. Antoine, who believes Thanksgiving should be a gourmet, avant-garde experience, clashes with Mrs. Cranberry's traditional approach. Their rivalry culminates in a hilarious culinary showdown, complete with synchronized whisking and spatula duels, in the song "Mashed Potato Mayhem."
Amidst the family drama, the cynical daughter, Lily, finds herself drawn to the story of the first Thanksgiving, as told by her grandfather. The stage magically shifts to a poignant tableau of the Pilgrims and Native Americans sharing their first harvest, accompanied by a soulful ballad, "Seeds of Peace."
Act I ends with a cliffhanger: the power goes out just as the turkey is about to be carved, leaving the family in darkness and despair, wondering if their Thanksgiving will be ruined. The curtain falls on the ensemble frozen in shock, bathed in the flickering glow of a single flashlight.
Act II opens in the still-dark Cranberry home. The family, initially distraught, begins to find creative solutions. Grandpa, with a twinkle in his eye, leads a shadow puppet show, reenacting historical Thanksgiving moments. Chef Antoine, surprisingly, uses his culinary expertise to whip up impromptu, delicious dishes from what's available.
Lily, inspired by the historical tales, takes center stage to unite her bickering family. She performs a powerful, emotional song, "More Than Just a Meal," reminding everyone that Thanksgiving is about love, family, and gratitude, not just the perfect dinner. The stage slowly brightens, symbolizing the renewed warmth and connection within the family.
In a heartwarming turn, Mrs. Cranberry and Chef Antoine reconcile, realizing their shared passion for food and family. They collaborate on a grand finale dish, a fusion of their traditional and gourmet styles. The ensemble reappears, now dressed in sparkling, festive costumes, and the stage is adorned with twinkling lights and autumn leaves.
The play culminates in a breathtaking grand finale, "A Feast of Forever," where the entire cast comes together in a joyous celebration. They share a symbolic meal, now lit by dozens of glowing lanterns, singing about the enduring spirit of Thanksgiving. As the final notes ring out, confetti shaped like autumn leaves falls from the ceiling, and the audience is left with a feeling of warmth, happiness, and gratitude. The Cranberry family, now more united than ever, takes their final bow, a testament to the power of family, forgiveness, and the timeless magic of Thanksgiving.

How do you rank September as a Bers Month in terms of your favorite?
- It’s the #1 Bers month of the year.
- It’s the #2 Bers month of the year.
- It’s the #3 Bers month of the year.
- It’s the #4 Bers month of the year.
- I’ll say D only because how can I put it above those other 3? But it’s not as easy as you think. It’s a tremendous month and I’m really enjoying it. I hope your month is going well also. The best to you my turkey friends here in the middle of this week. Have a great time my friends today. Enjoy. Have a great Wacky Wednesday!
A for me too...it starts off the best time of the year!
I never thought about ranking the Bers months before. It's like being asked to pick your favorite child. It's next to impossible to do, but for the sake of the poll, I will do it.
As of right now, it's D for me. But I reserve the right to change my mind!

I just don't know anymore to be honest. I really enjoy September to pick it fourth, but find it hard to rank the other three months below. The buildup and excitement of September is top notch too. I write in E...... non the above/ all equal above.

D for me this year, mainly due to the heat.
I'm just now seeing this, and I actually laughed out loud when I read Mash Potato Mayhem. I wonder if you'll ever pass the Hogwarts Express while riding The Gravy Train to Gratitude.
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 63
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 37
Happy Stupendous Summer! Today folks we move along and see that we have 63 days remaining until Thanksgiving and 37 days to go until November. We move along in our Awesome Autumn with our next milestone arriving right here and now today. We have reached Tom Turkey Day #10! It’s a big one folks as we move into the double digits of Turkey Days. 1 left to go. Our next milestone will be when October Arrives and that will be on Wednesday. Can you believe that? The Spooky Month will be here then. It’s Thursday folks so time for our Thanksgiving Thought Thursday below!
Thanksgiving is still on our long-range radar. We are not yet close enough to consider it close. Autumn has just begun, and the Halloween Season is just getting going. We have a full month of Spooky Times ahead of us still. I’m ok with that. I’m enjoying the early days of my autumn which are warmer still and not rushing to the later days of autumn with the bigger chill and the holiday season. Of course, that’s the goal but not feeling any rush into getting Thanksgiving on my radar anytime soon.
Keep your radar focused on today my friends. The best to you on this Thursday as we still enjoy this Sweet Spot September. Have a great Stupendous Summer!
