Thanks From the Past

My wife saw this item in the most recent Good Housekeeping Magazine:

Let Us Be Thankful

That we have something to be thankful for.
That pumpkin pies are once more in fashion.
That turkey is cheap enough for the poor man's table.
That the cranberry crop wasn't ruined by the frosts.
That the country is still quite safe in spite of the politicians.

Good Housekeeping, November 1888

Some things never change.
