A "Commercial" Thanksgiving Holiday

Well, the Thanksgiving holiday is winding to a close. The Beauchmein's "zoom, zoom"-ed (or at least as fast as Alan 'zoom, zooms' anyway) down to our house for a several day visit. We "left the porch light on" for them knowing they 'abslolutely, postivitely had to be here' Wednesday night.

On my way home from work Thursday, I was looking forward to the "M'm!, M'm! Good!" turkey dinner and was "ready for some football". However upon arriving home, 'I had questions, and Tammy had answers' as to how the drain became clogged. After a half hour or so of liquid drano and some good old fashioned plunging then 'away went troubles down the drain'.

Five o'clock came around and 'once the turkey popped, the fun did not stop'. It was time for its carving, so I asked Alan 'if he could do it and I would help'. He did a fine job as the turkey "was in good hands." The table was set with all the best because 'we are worth it'; and there were "no ifs, ands, or butts" about it, the dinner was "finger licking good" "to the last drop".

I can honestly 'raise my hand because I'm sure' that "I am loving it" and looking forward to 'just doing it' all over again next year (minus the clogged sink). "Oh what a feeling."

P.S. Apparently, only the Beauchmein's like me enough to participate in my "Thanksgiving games" as they are the only one's to let me know how many words they found in the previous post.

A Thanksgiving Puzzle

Let me be one of the first to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. If you get bored of watching parades and football games or tired from Black Friday shopping, I have created a word search for you to relax with. In the word search, there are a number of things that we all should be thankful for. They can be found up, down, backwards, and diagonal.

For best results, you will need to highlight the puzzle and then copy it to notepad so the letters line up correctly. (Notepad is under Start --All Programs--Accessories. Don't use wordpad.) I tried for quite some time to get the blog letters to line up, but they wouldn't.

Please post to the comment section how many words you find. The winner will receive a special CTGangwerGazette post of their very own. Have fun and no cheating.

Gangwer's Island

Just sit right back and you'll read a tale,
A tale of a normal day
That starts at the break of dawn
After I awake.

The alarm sounds off at 4am.
To the shower I must drift
For I am heading off to work
For an eight hour shift, an eight hour shift.

The day is like any day,
The news and weather read,
Songs and programs get played
With verses being said, verses being said.

The clock says it 2pm so off to home I head
To see Licorice,
my wife Tammy too,
The newspaper and the mail,
My two daughters
Jackie and Elizabeth
here at home sweet home.

(If you haven't figured it out yet, the above must be sung to the tune of Gilligan's Island for the full effect to be enjoyed. Perhaps (no promises), the second verse will be blogged at a later time.)
