The Edge Of AmericanaFood and Family for Our Thanksgiving Edge of Americana Show

There is one day that is ours.  There is one day when all we American's who are not self-made go back to the old home to eat saleratus biscuits and marvel how much nearer to the porch the old pump looks than it used to.  Thanksgiving Day is the one day that is purely American.  -O. Henry

Thanksgiving, man.  NOT a good day to be my pants.  -Kevin James

Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving. -W.T. Purkiser

Best to you and your family this Holiday.  And safe travels.
