Somehow Thanksgiving isn't so colorful and fun after you take away the turkeys and the Indians, and you're left with just... maple sugar pilgrims.
Soft, but stiff, sweet, but almost faceless and bland... are these indeed the images of those courageous souls who braved the unknown to create a new life in America? As I reflect upon this, I'm just thankful that my husband and I don't have to battle for survival in a stiff, buttoned coat and a bow tied tightly around one's neck.
