Happy Thanksgiving. Funny this morning its "snowing" Dandelions in our area. And even with the nonsense going on in our state it's still like living in a different word than what we left behind.

Just as a grateful and newly minted nation gave thanks to God for the blessings of liberty and a new nation in 1789, I too give thanks to the Almighty for His answers to prayer. Our exodus from California was not done without earnest prayer for guidance and direction. I am thankful to celebrate this Thanksgiving Holiday with fellow patriots and feel blessed for all that has come my way.

George Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation might be worth reading at the dinner table tonight as you gather with friends and family:

Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.

Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be-- That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks--for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation--for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war--for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed--for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted--for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.

and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions-- to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually--to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed--to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord--To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us--and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.

Go: Washington

You're in Emmett - try La Costa at 517 N Washington Ave. I ate there once, and it was good. There is also a decent place over the hill in Star, El Mariachi Loco. Further afield, Tacos El Rancho in Middleton is also good to go.

I've had it...twice! The food is probably the best I've had here. Very close to San Diegos mexican food. There are still some local spots I miss that just can't be duplicated. Cuatros Y milpas for one. But, yes I like that place and luckily I work just 5 min down chinden from them

When we first moved here we tried La costa we weren't impressed. BUT we are going to give them another shot for sure. Just don't get the fish tacos there lol. El Mariachi Loco is very good. One of our favorites and is able to kill the craving for awhile. I'll have to check out the one in Middleton as my parents just moved there. Thanks! Also we still need to go shooting!

The Middleton one has the ambiance of a double-wide, but I had a good lunch there and thought the street tacos were very good. For that matter, there is a taco truck that sets up on the NW corner of State and Star Road that has good tacos, as well.

Everyone raves about Tin Roof Tacos. I think they are just ok, not great...... but the wife and daughter love them.

Our first Thanksgiving in AZ.

I'm Thankful that you can go from state to state.
Do they let you do that?
Oh, yes.
No papers?
No papers. State to state.
