Yes, happy Thanksgiving to all!
Afterward we will all be gearing up for a "Happy Holiday" or "Winter Festival" or what ever we're supposed to call Christmas now.

But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Been trying to do the math, but I think it is the 8th Thanksgiving together for many of us - wow. I'm proud to be somehow in your homes with the forum and with the friends you've made here. On the one day of the year families in the US spend together the most out of any other holiday, I'm so glad that many of you even take a minute on this special day to stop in to the forums to check out what's happening - sure has family and friends written all over it. Enjoy your time with family, feast and be merry and although it is unlikely they are reading this, I give thanks to the men and women around the Globe who dive so much to keep us safer in a crazy world. God Bless everyone and just think by this time tomorrow, your neighbors will have blowup snow-globes, reindeer and lights strung all over their house and yard. For some reason, every holiday seems to start the days AFTER the previous one ends. Tracey and I are having a Christmas Tree for the first time in many many years. I miss the days when blinking lights reflected off the walls and the cats sniffed at smells we can only imagine. It won't be until early December though, even though it is a nice artificial tree, I see no need to go from Black Friday to January 1st - someone else can do that Again, thank you all for being part of the Beemaster Family. Since I have no living relatives, I think of you all as family and maybe that's why I get a little protective when we get ying-yangs in here? But I'll swear to it and pass any polygraph if asked if I think our forum is the friendliest one around - because in my heart, I believe that you all get that we aim the bar a little higher than most and the results speak for themselves. To many more years together, Happy Thanksgiving to you all Beemaster |

Hope everyone survived the holiday, and their families... Pam and I spent it with my stepbrother and some of their friends outside of Gettysburg, PA. From their house, you can see Little Round Top. A great time was had by all. As an added bonus, their place sits in the middle of 60 acres of apple trees, with nary a beehive around. Can anyone guess what I'll be doing in the spring? |

Looking to add SHB? Am I getting close yet? |

Whitetails??? Don't remind me. I dressed out 2 Wed. night and 2 more yesterday morning. That's not counting the one left packed on ice Wed. night on my front porch. I have been cutting, grinding, slicing, freezing, and canning venison day and night for 2 days. Hopefully, I am caught up finally, unless the phone rings again.

Looking to add SHB? Am I getting close yet? None of the above. They don't spray, and there are no other orchards nearby. The nearest ones are about 7 miles away. They bought the place when the previous owners went bankrupt, and left the apples to feed the deer and other critters. There are no plans to make it an operational orchard. They cleared a spot for a nice BIG garden, which is the original reason for needing my bees. The surrounding properties are farms, with lots of berry patches and other goodies. I'll put two hives there and see what happens. |

Let's just say that they want for nothing....LOL. They're planning to plant corn on some of the terraces this coming year, to help the deer population. They also cleared a spot to put a couple of Black Angus, destined for the freezer, of course. Nice people, who worked hard for what they got, and now are enjoying the fruits of their labors. I'm just happy to be able to enjoy some of it with them... |

Come on up. I have put enough away that I won't post the total number. Not sure what the limit is this year. There's still 30 plus days of season. Spend a week here and you should have 5 or more.

If you're serious, I just may take you up on it Iddee. I haven't taken a deer in three years. Although my wife is very happy with the alligator Schawee was nice enough to donate and the 65 lb pig I took October 2, she really, really misses venison backstrap. I fry it after marinating it in McCormick's meat marinade breaded in flour and Italian bread crumbs. Its so good ya wanna slap ya Mama! ...JP |

We can shoot 12 deer here in Georgia and I have not had time or the place to go in years. My wife just loves the stuff and "borrows" as much as she can from family and friends. I really need to make time and go. It is just so hard with a 4 year old around. In a couple of years he will be old enough. |
