Happy Thanksgiving
Thanks, Patsy.
Same back at ya.
We are having family over. Grandkids, and nieces and nephews that live around Colorado, And my sister's son and his Air Force wife and their 5-month-old Twins (who will likely be the stars of the day.)

I may have the background wrong but... Thanksgiving is a celebration that the earliest surviving plantation of English settlers lived through their first winter in the New World? I think that's right.
Yes, congratulations, I'm delighted one of the English settlements finally did survive. The idea that you'd otherwise all be descendants of Pizarro and Cortez, or worse yet the French, doesn't bear thinking about.
Bravo the survivors.
Would it be fair to describe them as Puritans?

When flower power came along I stood for Human Rights, marched around for peace and freedom, had some nooky every night - we took it serious.
Who has a spare two minutes to play in this month's FG Trivia game! ... My other OS is Slackware.

Actually, Jamestown, in the Virginia Colony was the first surviving English settlement in the colonies. It was a commercial venture.
The Plymouth colony was, indeed, founded by Puritan separatists who called themselves "Pilgrims"
It is the story of these pilgrims that is became the focus of the Thanksgiving tale.
