Recycled pears: pie. Recycled bagels: stuffing. Recycled sushi: kidding. Just wanted to know if you were paying attention.
Make your gratitude outweigh your tribulations, and have a happy and healthy Thanksgiving.

Not your average pies; not your average entertainment.
Join the Upper Cape Family Network for the craziest Pre-Thanksgiving Pie Auction ever. It’s this Saturday, November 21st, at the Oakridge School in Sandwich. We’ll be there at 7:30 am, but you don’t have to show until the door opens at 9:00. Entertainment provided by the Toe Jam Puppet Band (and they begin at 9:30). There is NO CHARGE for Toe Jam, so bring everyone you know! Live auction begins at 10:30 and silent auction winners will be announced at 11:30. Can’t stay for the auction? Check out the bake sale table. Craft tables for your kids, assisted by the Sandwich High School students… Trying to keep all the pies in the air without dropping any.
So many small details… Now where did I leave my signs?
I don’t know how you talk to young children about war, and really, at what age do you introduce the notion into their lives? If you are in the service, I guess you have that conversation sooner, rather than later.
Perhaps you start with concepts like commitment, absence, and honor. Maybe then you add a little geography: Iraq, Pakistan, Congo, Gaza. And then you take them to an event, like your local Veteran’s Day celebration, and you hold them in your arms while you sing American the Beautiful.
