Thanksgiving 2021 is getting closer and closer...

Thanksgiving 2021 is getting closer and closer, I hope you have ordered your Turkey and have bought most of your supplies for the 'eating feast' or should I say " Eating Fest"?

To me Thanksgiving is the ultimate American Holiday, it breaks my heart when I see people decorating for Christmas before Thanksgiving. A total disrespect of the American History and tradition of Thanksgiving. If you study or recall American history, in 1621 the Plymouth Colonists and the Wampanoag Indians shared a feast that we now call the Thanksgiving celebration, non other than in Cape Cod,  Massachusetts.

So with that said I have been celebrating it proudly every year since 1967 when we came to this great country of ours. I have  always been grateful for President LBJ letting my parents in, because it took his intervention to get us in.....

Hence I made a commitment to serve this great country with what little I could and the returns were incredible.  I will just say, having been a Realtor now for over 27 years I would not have been able to achieve the success that I have if it was not for the Military Training  and Confidence, that I have learned. 

 

So thank you Debe Maxwell, CRS  for inspiring me to continue the Active Rainwww.endrebarath.com Journey blogging about being Grateful during the few days before Thanksgiving. Keeping in mind I am grateful every day for what we have and what I have achieved. I am also grateful for the friendships I have developed on this platform.

So with that said let me share some old photos from my Airborne School Yearbook. There are some of you who might have seen them and are laughing at me and saying  oh "here he goes again":)))) Well maybe I might share some more in the next few days.

Thank you for reading and if you need a focused Goal Oriented Realtor who will look out for you  in the greater Los Angeles in buying or selling properties, please reach out to me directly.

Good morning, Endre... I, too, am grateful and blessed to have your friendship here in the Rain and with so many others here. Yesterday, I had an unexpected call from Margaret Rome and her reaching out to me just made my day. I'd never have known Margaret if it wasn't for Active Rain.

Good morning Endre. There is indeed something very special about Thanksgiving, the turkey and the fixings. In daily search in downtown Chicago for Cranberry sauce, the mission ended in victory. We are ready for the big day! Enjoy your feast!

As for Thanksgiving, one of our sons will be here this year to share the holiday, so I'm very excited.

Hello Endre - in her comment Nina Hollander, Broker mentioned how ActiveRain brings people together we may have never met.  That is true for so many of us on this platform as we have discussed in the past.   

 

In this post, I have now learned(or did I already know it but my memory is playing hooky again) that LBJ played a role too.  At least in helping your family come to this country.

Hi Endre,
I love your post. Your immigration story, subsequent service in the military, and the story of your career is a story I wish more people could hear. It's really the fabric of what the United States flag stands for.  Your reference for Thanksgiving is refreshing. Thank you for sharing.

Hello Endre Barath, Jr. - I am with you on Christmas decorations (and TV advertising) before Thanksgiving. 

While I no longer eat meat of any kind, I appreciate the celebration. 

Thank you for your service. Thank you for appreciating this great country and all the opportunities it provides.  

Cheers to your continued real estate success and happiness in life!

Endre,

It was a pleasure for Ron and I to have met you, and broken bread together a couple of times, and yes Active Rain brought us together.  I like your photos.   Anna Banana Kruchten CRS, CRB, Phoenix Broker makes a great point about those trained in the miltary.  We had a client who was aformer Marine, he had his assignments and data to us without any time lag.  We love working with him...A

Endre my fresh turkey is on order and I pick it up next Tuesday ☺️

By the way I seem to recall even though Yaz won the Triple Crown in 1967 it was also the year the Red Sox got mowed down by Bob Gibson and the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series. 🤪

Oh, you KNOW I love this, Endre and if anyone tells you, "Oh, here you go again..." write them off - PERMANENTLY!!

Love the story and the photos. Love the friendship (and the 'kin'ship!!) and am so thankful that I got to spend time with you & Diane in Boston - definitely worth the trip!

As for the food - it's purchased for the most part and I cannot WAIT for our Thanksgiving feast! And, no Christmas decorations yet either!

Hi Endre- I love your post and as far as I'm concerned keep writing this and reminding us that we are so lucky to be here. When I see stories like yours...your family immigrating to this country and your service to the country...I wish that so many others could read this. This is what this country is about...getting so much and then giving back as well.

We will hit the dusty trail,

And those Caissons go rolling along,

In and out, hear them shout

Counter marching all about,

and those Caissons go rolling along."

Endre Barath, Jr. your amazing journey from where you were to where you are now is the American Dream and I am so proud to know you. Thank you for your courage, strength, intelligence, services and sharing how being not afraid to change and military life can shape the mind of a man into a wonderful husband and business man. You are a trooper who we all look up to and appreciate. 

Thank you for your services and your leadership on ActiveRain and in business.
