Thanksgiving Food

What would Thanksgiving be without lots of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy? We also had pumpkin, french apple pie, cherry pie, chocolate cream and a Reeses cream pie. But don't forget the pretzel sticks dipped in frosting and sprinkles and also little pretzel squares with frosting inbetween. Homemade Reeses cups and a sweet chex mix and you couldn't find room to taste it all. We played games, painted pictures, took pictures and had many laughs and an all around good time was had by all.

Community Thanksgiving Dinner

Every year in our little town, a different church is chose to hold the Community Thanksgiving Dinner. I think that is great. You can go there and eat. Or if you would rather eat at home and watch a game, you can pick up your dinner. In addition, they will deliver to your home. That is really nice. Lots of ladies get together and prepare the turkey and all the fixings and you give a free will offering for your dinner. We are going to have ours delivered this years. We did that 2 years ago and it was just delicious.

US to Help Turkey Combat Rebels

President George W. Bush has promised extra help to tackle Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq, following talks with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Mr. Bush offered to share intelligence with Turkey and declared the PKK rebel organization an enemy of Turkey, a free Iraq and the United States. Turkey has threatened to hit bases used by the PKK (Kurdistan Worker's Party) unless the US and Iraq do more to help.

Iraq Vows to Oust Kurdish Rebels

Turkey and Iraq have agreed to expend all efforts to oust a Kurdish separatist group from northern Iraq. A memorandum was signed of understanding on security issues after talks in Ankara. Ankara had warned Iraq to crack down on the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) within its borders or face a possible incursion by Turkish troops. Around 80 Turkish soldiers have died in skirmishes with the PKK this year.
