I once invited a lonely Korean student over for Thanksgiving from the university where I worked in the 80’s. Turned out to be my age (38) and we ended up in a relationship!
Someone who actually understands the purpose of the holiday. As proclaimed by Abraham Lincoln in 1863…..
“I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, …to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving… And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him …, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to his tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility and Union.”
Of course the football is optional, but Carl probably enjoys it. Well done Lola, well done.

This is one of the reasons I love Lola. We can all take inspiration from her.

That was sweet of you Lola. We are supposed to share our good fortune with others less fortunate.

It’s nice to share your food with someone who has nothing, it’s even nicer to sit down and eat with them.. or watch a game
