Carol responds:

Thanks, Kemper. Silly me. I should have checked snopes first! My
Thanksgiving was rather dull, actually. The food was good (all I had
to bake was the pumpkin pies), but everyone had to rush off somewhere
else. Not like the good old days when we sat around playing Trivial
Pursuit or Scrabble after Thanksgiving dinner. The family members who
made it fun are either far away or, sad to say, no longer living. At
least I was with friends and family. Hope yours was wonderful.

I made my fruitcakes the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I cut them in
thirds and mail one third to various people and keep one whole cake
for myself. (It turns out that the cakes were just slightly too large
to send by first-class mail instead of priority. If I'd cut the cakes
in fourths, I'd have saved a lot of money on postage!

I have two more to mail tomorrow. At least those two can go in the
same package.
