The First ThankgivingBecause of what they learned in elementary school, most Americans probably associate Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims in Massachusetts in 1621. Less well know outside Virginia is the fact that more than a year earlier, a hardy band of Englishmen landed at Berkeley Hundred on the James River and held the real first Thanksgiving. Captain John Woodlief and thirty-seven men sailed from Bristol, England, on the ship Margaret and reached Berkeley Hundred nearly three months later in December 1619. They marked their deliverance from the stormy north Atlantic with a simple service of thanks to God.Click here to learn much more about the first Thanksgiving in Virginia.  Chrysanthemums, Kentlands Photowalk, Gaithersburg, Maryland USA IMG 6283Canon PowerShot G11 CameraPhotograph...

Rainy Weather + Leaves = Driving Risks  Leaves are similar to ice when they get wet in that they create a barrier between the road and your tires. With ice, it's a layer of water. With leaves, it's the slippery surface they have on both sides added to a layer of water.This is a Montgomery County, Maryland announcement.We have a very rainy day in Maryland.
