HAPPY THANKSGIVING--ya'll!! size>color> We were scheduled to have a total of 11 of us, but most of us are sick! There's some 'Coughing up a Lung' virus making the rounds in this part of our world so I'm not sure WHO will either be able to come or will want to if they haven't contracted it from someone else already! But--to brighten your Thanksgiving season, I am going to share with you, what one of my favorite (albeit infrequent) posters has sent me today! It will give you a good laugh!! PREGNANT TURKEY STORY One year at Thanksgiving, my mom went to my sister's' house for the traditional feast. Knowing how gullible my sister is, my mom decided to play a trick. She told my sister that she needed something from the store. When my sister left, my mom took the turkey out of the oven, removed the stuffing, stuffed a Cornish hen, and inserted it into the turkey, and re-stuffed the turkey. She then placed the bird(s) back in the oven. When it was time for dinner, my sister pulled the turkey out of the oven and proceeded to remove the stuffing. When her serving spoon hit something, she reached in and pulled out the little bird. with a look of total shock on her face, my mother exclaimed, 'Patricia, you've cooked a pregnant bird!'At the reality of this horrifying news, my sister started to cry. It took the family two hours to convince her that turkeys lay eggs! Yep..................she's blonde! That's my turkey--coughing up a lung, like the rest of us!!! ;o)

Thank you, I love my Northern neighbors, it's the only time I get to say that I live in the South, LOL. Here it was pumpkin pie, cheesecake, chocolate pie, homemade ice cream. Oh yeah, we had turkey too, LOL. Amanda woke up throwing up but came anyway and napped on the couch while the kids watched "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" courtesy of Netflix DVD. Ashley had one of those troublesome gallbladder attacks so she didn't eat much either. Madison played with her cousins, Mom and Elery had a couple of glasses of wine. We had lots of leftovers too, so we made up some plates and sent them to Ashley's co-workers who were stuck working emergency today and Kevin, who is pulling a double shift. CLBlakey, it was 55F and sunny here, a lovely Thanksgiving Day. With a wonderful husband, both my daughters and all my grandkids, I have a lot to be thankful for. Annie

Well, you have a "new" family that really cares about you. I hope this continues to bring comfort as you struggle with what you cannot fix. And, any of us would gladly send you fabric we no longer have a need for if you only holler. Sharing is what makes us all feel we are helping others. Hang in there. Linda

Belated Thanksgiving wishes to all. I hope you all had a great day with friends and family. I'm dealing with some personal health issues, so not as active on the list as I have been in the past. Everyone have a great Christmas and holiday season! I've not bought a single bulb this season...if that says anything... Kristi
