Happy Columbus Day!

Happy Columbus Day!!! I wait all year for this very special holiday and it has finally arrived. I don't know how you celebrate it in your home, but in our home I dress up as Christopher Columbus, fill the bathtub full of water – jump in and “sail” to the “new country” where I am greeted by my 2 "Indian princesses". We then exchange gifts: I give them a necklace made of dandelion weeds in exchange for 30 pounds of gold. The festivities are concluded with the 3 of us singing a rousing chorus of “Oh Columbus Day” around a big spread of turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry relish, and a Dairy Queen ice cream cake.

Happy Columbus Day! If you will excuse me, I’ve got to get changed into my outfit.
