This is a reading of "Thanksgiving Day", a POEM by Lydia Maria Child. At first, my eye stopped over the opening of the poem because of a phrase that is well known and oft-repeated, or at least it was as a child. Then it became more of a nostalgic experience due to my current living situation, living abroad.  That first phrase goes like this, "Over the river and through the woods, to grandmother's house we go".  Or does it? LOL  I was quite surprised to find out that there were two differences that I had not previously known. Listen to find out.  ________________ Subscriptions or turned on for $4.99 per month.
