Howdy-hi, folks! Here in the US, we’ll celebrate Thanksgiving on Thursday. Most of my readers are in America, so I know I won’t be the only one super busy this week.  I’m toning things down in Blogosphere but for those who happen to be trolling the Internet then I put together a playlist of 10 Thanksgiving songs inspired by this Yahoo source and rolled in a few cartoons to make your day a little lighter.  

What songs come to mind, new or old that brings Thanksgiving to mind?  Feel free to add song titles or music video in comments for everyone toe enjoy.  

I’m borrowing again the previous Tuesday4 questions, largely because of short on time and I want very much to keep a routine going even if I’m lagging.

1. What was your hometown like?    Or home state or both! I grew up in southern, rural West Virginia.  The town I lived in was once a coal mining community.   All the homes were small and nothing fancy but that didn’t matter.  There was an elementary school not far from my childhood home where I attended grades 1-4.  We had post office, a service station, and two small grocery stores. You can read about my hometown in my recent post, A walk through time to my childhood neighborhood.
2. Did you enjoy where you grew up?  Why?   I didn’t know anything about the great big world beyond my West Virginia hills and I was perfectly content where I was. I had a blissful childhood with my family and friends.
3. How much did where you grew up shaped you?  It wasn’t where I grew up but who raised me that shaped who I am.  My parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, family friends, … were mostly Christians but those who weren’t were morally strong not a bad apple in the bunch for me to model my life after or to get advice from.  
4. What were some of the best and worst things about where you grew up?  The best part being with those I love the best.  I guess the worst thing was because it was such a small community, everybody knew everything about you or at least they thought they did with gossip ready to fall off someone’s lips.  

I haven’t thought of any better way to incorporate Tuesday Random Thoughts with Stacy Happy Tuesday at Sandee’s then to roll it everything in a single post.  Until I figure out a better way to doing things, I’ll keep it simple.   Grab your coffee and follow my lead as I head off to visit my buds!

That’s it for today.  Join me tomorrow for my next edition of Wild Wednesdays, the party where just about anything goes! XX, Cathy
