I bought a smaller turkey this year, simply because there are only to be 4 of us nibblin on the bird. I took it out of the freezer on Sunday as I have always done and put it in the fridge. Hard as a ho’s heart this morning. I immediately submersed the thing in water, which by the way is exactly what they tell you not to do, on penalty of contacting a disease that will make your pin feathers fall out, and I am jittery as a cat passing peach seeds that the thing wont thaw by oven time tomorrow. I have about 4 slices of salami as back up so I guess things wont be a total loss. However, salami, sweet taters, and greenbean casserole just doesnt do much for me. Ya’ll send out a small prayer request to butterball that this thing does its thing at the appropriate time.
If everything goes right we will be dining on the bird around one oclock. Around 1:25 I will have consumed all I am allowed to eat and will be full as a tick. It will be time to watch some football. I assume the Cowboys are going to play. Or not play as the case may be. Ya’ll did hear that they found a suicide note from “Big Tex”. He said he was ending it all because he just couldnt stand watching the cowboys anymore. If I ever go postal I am going to blame that on them also.
I do hope that each and everyone of you have a great Thanksgiving day. We all have more to be thankful for than we own up to. We have good friends, old friends and we have forever friends. What more could you ask for?

Someone once labeled my Better Half as the M & M man and think they nailed on the head! Hard on outside and Soft and Sweet on the Inside!!!
If you read his Blogs on a regular basis and know him at all, it doesn’t take much to get from his cynical side to his inner tender one and that is the one I adore and married almost 50 years ago! Therefore, must add my wishes to his and hope you each have a Blessed Thanksgiving as well as wonderful Holiday Season ahead! We do indeed have much to be grateful for as our cups runneth over in so many directiions!
50 years. How could we have known. Hell! I didn’t think Gary (I call him Gary) would have lived that long but Dorothy I knew you would. Someone had to take care of him. Have a great Thanksgiving.
