today i am thankful for family & friends. i am grateful for my good job, nice home & of course my phone collection. ;D
will be having dinner at my brothers later. we will eat too much, insult each other & generally enjoy being together.
i hope everyone here can spend time with loved ones today.
happy thanksgiving friends. :)
Kind words to all in this wonderful forum. May God bless you this season with health, love, and peace.
Phonetastically, yours
Happy Thanksgiving to one and all, even those that don't celebrate Thanksgiving on this day like we do here in the the United States. No matter how many "curve balls" life throws at us, I think we can all find something or many things to be thankful for, not just today but everyday.
Enjoy the day!
--Dennis
My early Thanksgiving memories involved mom cooking for what seemed like days, and being rather frazzled. Dad and grandpa would always argue about something, often heatedly, and after the meal they ended up taking naps, dad in his recliner and grandpa on the couch. Having to eat turkey which was never on my top 10 list of foods, along with a bunch of other foods that I really did not like at all, such as that purple stuff from a can, the weird breaded stuff in the turkey, and pumpkin pie. At least there was mashed potatoes, that helped.
Of course now I like all that weird Thanksgiving food, even the purple canned stuff.
Happy Thanksgiving all.
I try to be thankful, even for the negative aspects of life, because I usually learn something from them.
Everyone please have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving Day.
May God richly bless you, each and every day.

Hello,
Want to wish all my American friends and members on this fourm a very Happy Thanksgiving Day. When we see all the crap happening in other countries we have an awlful lot to be thankful for. I'm only 20 minutes from the Vermont border so I'll be heading down there for supper with my uncle and his family. A very special thanks to our men and women serving in the Armed Forces who help keep our countries free !!! BTW our Thanksgiving holiday is in October. God bless you all, Jiggerman
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
I am grateful for my home, my dogs, my friends, my church, this forum, my collection, and, my help I get from God, and, all my friends on earth.
God bless you all!

Happy Thanksgiving, lads and ladies!
Awakening from my tryptophan-induced slumber, Happy Turkey Day!
I'll restart this topic.
I hope everyone has wonderful and joyous Thanksgiving day! If you or loved ones are traveling , I hope the trips are safe and everyone arrives safely.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Happy turkey day everyone!
Sorry, it's not a rotary turkey.
Happy Thanksgiving to one & all!
Leave it to you to come up with a turkey phone Dave ;D
I wish all of you a very safe and happy Thanksgiving, full of good things to eat, with family all around you.
I've already made my persimmon pudding, a Southern delicacy, from persimmons gathered from under my uncle's tree. I always take him some to say thanks for letting me get them. Anyone else ever heard of persimmon pudding?
I'm celebrating at lunch with the immediate family and then in the evening we will gather in my grandmother's basement, now my aunt's, where we've celebrated annually since 1955 (before I was born). I make the Cheerwine punch. Another Southern delicacy.
If you have family spread far and wide, use one of your old phones to call them. Reach out and touch someone, as Ma Bell used to say.
I would also like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving day. I hope your travels are all safe and that everyone is able to spend time with family and/or friends.
Jonathan I have heard of persimmons but not persimmon pudding. Could you e-mail me some? It sounds like you are having a real "traditional" Thanksgiving. Enjoy!
My family is spread out across this half of the country, so I will be reaching out via the telephone. I have siblings in Florida, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Texas and Kentucky. Only my brother and I remain in Michigan. I guess this is the time of year we pay for beautiful summers. They all like that hot weather south of the Mason-Dixon line.
Did anyone notice the dates these are said to be posted ? Some are dated Saturday upcoming ?
I didn't remember posting my comment until I realized it was last years post. Well this is neat because we have Thanksgiving every year it is always current....
Have A Wonderful Day.
Lets start a tradition of adding to this each year, we can reminisce former years comments and best wishes.
D/P
Dan, I absolutely did not notice that. I guess Russ' first comment of "restarting" the topic was the clue. Good idea to add to it each year.
Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends south of the 49th. We have already celebrated our Canadian Thanksgiving back in October and I enjoyed Turkey on a cruise ship at sea somewhere off the west coast of Mexico heading for the Panama Canal.
Terry
Happy Thanksgiving guys. Hope you all have a great one.
I think we should start adding to the Christmas thread also
belated happy thanksgiving wishes to all!
of course this year i am most thankful to have my beautiful Penelope!
Look at all that hair! She looks like a little punk rocker. :)
Belated Thanksgiving wishes to you across the pond - hope you all enjoyed whatever way you chose to celebrate a great holiday. Our next one is Christmas - don't time fly?
May your meals be large, your company good and may your phones ring into the night with well wishers, family and friends. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Yes, happy Thanksging to everyone from those of us in Canada who celebrated Thanksgiving earlier last month. Since the harvest is earlier in the North, we celebrate earlier!
Terry
Terry, from your south of the border, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Spend some quality time with relatives and friends. ;D ;D ;D
Happy turkey day everyone, even those in European and asian countries as well.
Happy Thanksgiving to all you Fine Fone Folk and all your Families ;D
I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday. Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving all. I'm heading out to fight the crowds for black Friday. If I don't make it back you all can fight over my phones. If there's anything worth fighting for;)

Happy turkey day everyone!
Sorry, it's not a rotary turkey.
It should at least be a ten-button:
Greg:
Ha ha, I had to really look at that one. Good Photoshop job.
...or rotary.
I am reviving the annual Thanksgiving Day thread early this year for us Canadians who all celebrate tomorrow Monday Oct 8th. Then we can resurect this trhead again next month for you South of the 49th parallel folks.
And remind me again those of you in other countries, do you celebrate Thanksgiving or something equivilent? And if so, what time of the year. Canada is the 2nd Monday in October.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of my fellow Canadians! Everyone will get together at my Mom's place for Turkey tomorrow!
Terry
Thank you for the reminder, Terry. The turkey sounds good.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of our friends in Canada!
Happy Turkey day from Greg & Anita! Today's agenda: Eat. Breakfast of pancakes, eggs, and bacon, a walk, a light lunch later, then we have dinner reservations at Arnie's in Edmonds.
We had thanksgiving dinner last night. The son who we are staying with works today, so we did it early. Still plenty of left-overs to gourd on.
Too bad they don't sell antique phones on Black Friday. Thusrsday.
Happy Thanksgiving to all, even those in Canada, Mexico, the UK, the Netherlands, and wherever else you may be!
I am sure that everyone had too much turkey and have all passed out by now. Should be a quiet evening on he CRPF!
Terry
Burp!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
I hope everybody on the list had a wonderful Thanksgiving, filled with family, friends, and, of course, food! I can still dial, so I am still up ;)
My very best regards to you and yours,

I'll bet I'm a bigger newbie than you are. :-)
A small part of my Thanksgiving yesterday was spent making a final determination that I wanted to equip my little cheap country house with a bunch of Model 302's.
So I'll be joining you lunatics very soon.
One 302 installed, one on the way and almost in use, and bidding on a third. The one I'm bidding on is going to require restoration, so it'll also be my first hands on tackling of such a thing.
Okay... Fine.. I stayed up, just to write this post..
But, Happy Thanksgiving, we all have something to be thankful for. Even though, for my family and I, these last years have been rough. Loosing a younger family member, etc.
Have a good one, and chow.. Literally!

Yes Ben you said it I hope that you and also our big telephone family here on the forum have a very happy thanksgiving, Gregg
Today I am visiting my son and grandkids. Weather is sunny and about 55 Degrees. Portland, OR is usually grey and rainy this time of year. Can't wait for dinner!
Happy Thanksgiving to all US folks, and to everyone else, well, happy 28th of November! Canada already had their's last month. :)
Stay safe, everyone and drive carefully, and don't get run over at the malls on Black Friday, which in most places will start this evening. Yuck.
Turkey dinner on the cruise ship tonight just past Gibraltar out of the Med and into the Atlantic. We are 9 hours ahead of west coast time zone so everyone in North America still has dinner waiting for them. Don't eat too much!
Terry
Now that's the way to do Thanksgiving, or any other day for that matter! Have a safe cruise.
Bill, Black Friday is just... Disgusting. I mean, one day you are thankful for what you have, and the next day you are buying tons of new things for cheep prices.
Terry, I wish I could be you, on a cruise!!

Canary Islands for two days starting tomorrow then 7 days at sea to Fort Lauderdale.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I had a great thanksgiving. Just my wife and I. We didn't travel this year - first time in quite a while for that. She is too used to cooking Thanksgiving for more than just two. I think we will have turkey sandwiches for a while. I second Greg's burp.
Yes, hope everyone is enjoying holiday.
Cute photo. Only thing missing is bowl of pretzels...

We did the same. Her family is in Canada, mine is dysfunctional, so it works out great during the holidays. We cooked everything ourselves (except for the pie), which was a feat because we don't cook much.

Happy Thanksgiving.....more than just a day off from work. Be thankful for all the good things in your life. I know I am. I get to see the 11 most important people in my life today, sitting around my dining room table. ....Doug

Happy Thanksgiving to everybody here on the CRPF!
One of the many blessings that I have to be thankful for is the friends I have made here on the forum, and the wonderful repository of information and experience available here.
I just wanted to make absolutely certain that you all understand how very highly I regard each and every one of you, and, foremost, how incredibly grateful I am to Dennis for providing us all a place to be!
With my very best regards to all of you, and all of yours!

UGGHH!! I'M SO FULL!!
I had so much delicious turkey, mashed potatoes, and chocolate chip cookie mush (the tasty result of failed fresh-baked cookies)!!!
It was all worth it though though!! :P
Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends, from your neighbours to the north :D
Happy Thanksgiving to all in the U.S.!
Happy Thanksgiving! In case I get sidetracked tomorrow!

I am thankful for a Wonderful wife who not only puts up with my Telephones, but embraces my collecting. She found my WE A1!
Three Fantastic children, Four Loving Grand children, (with one on the way) who never ask Grampy whats behind that closed (locked) door. 8)
A job that I can do.....even like at my advanced age.
A green lawn on Thanksgiving! Yes everything else is dead.
I was smart enough to put my Christmas lights up on Saturday when it was 60, not the usual Thanksgiving morning at 32 burrrr.
What are you thankful for???
Happy Thanksgiving!!...Doug
Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving from NC where it's a balmy 71 degrees! In an hour I'll be going over the river (the Yadkin) and through the wood to grandmother's house, where we've had Thanksgiving every year in that basement since her 1954 500 set was brand new (before I was born).
Traditions are big in my family. I make the Cheerwine punch every year. It's a dark red cherry soda with a whole lot of carbonation, bottled in Salisbury, NC.
Wow, my 7th Thanksgiving on this forum! I see, though, that I didn't chime in when this topic first came up in 2010, but I did in 2011. Happy turkey day to all. We are just getting the cooking underway, but I have been running around the kitchen "sampling", as it were. To all that are not in the US, have a great Thursday any way! :)
I predict a **BURP** coming from Walla Walla Washington very soon....
Hope everyone has had a great day.

Belated Happy Turkey Day to all our southern neighbours.
I ate two whole pies this Thanksgiving. One was a chocolate pie. The other was a lemon pie. Both were very good. Just what I needed to finish off a meal of ham, turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, and cranberry sauce.
Happy Thanksgiving to my friends on the Forum. I have many things to be thankful for, a wonderful wife, great children who make the old man proud and five grandchildren who "try" to keep me young. I still have a job to go to that I love. I am a happy man and thankful for what I have....Doug
A happy and prosorous day to all regardless of where you are on this particular day . . .
This photo of the sun rising over a cloud bank on Lake Michigan this morning seems to have the traditional colors of the day. Posted here for those who have never had an opportunity to see a sun rise on a fall day over a calm great Lake Michigan (click on it to enlarge).
And, of course, the traditional bird . . .
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. (Even if like me, you aren't in the USA).
Well said Doug!
Great picture John. That must have been a very difficult shot to get. I mean...the patience and timing involved. How you could get a turkey to stay still long enough while for a picture while it was wearing a Pilgrims hat is beyond me.
Nice picture of the sunrise as well.
Terry
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving from a sunny 90 degree Southern California!!
Turkey worship can be hazardous! :'( Check out Stella's singed whiskers after getting too close to the Weber grill.

Happy Thanksgiving! Truly a day too count our Blessings. I have a wonderful wife, three great kids and their spouses. Five wonderful Grandchildren with one on the way ;D.
A job I love...that I can still perform at one month away from 65. A great place to live in a Country I love.
For today, everyone in my family is healthy.
For this, I am thankful....Doug

Happy Thanksgiving! Traveled to be with family and had a great time and meal. Checked current events at the door. :D
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the USA
Did our first thanksgiving with our 1959 GE Stratoliner Range. After using this, I couldnt imagine it any other way. Broiler and oven. did a great job. that extra space on top sure helped too
First thanksgiving since my mom and grandma passed. So i did up a meal with stuff they both used to make.
Thankful for friends family and these old phones which help keep many of us sane when the going gets tough :)
Happy Thanksgiving sir!

That stove is a 1959 GE Stratoliner we got free this past summer. Cooking thanksgiving dinner on that was exponentially because of the space it provided. Love it.
16lb turkey lightly dusted with a bit of garlic powder, onion powder, butter and 2 strips of bacon on top
Deviled Eggs
Ham Cheese And onion ball- which is cream cheese, green onion, bit of onion powder, diced ham all rolled up.
Mashed taters
gravy
stuffing
My grandmas baked mac and cheese. its just milk, butter, lots of cheese, salt and pepper, ritz crackers on top and baked.
