Thanks, Ivan of the League of Savannah Bloggers, for posting this on fb for me to 'borrow'!
Little Woodstock just found out from his beagle buddy that this is the day when people eat turkeys as well as several other types of winged creatures.
The little bird didn't miss a beat.
"Woof!", he said!
(smile!)
How clever of him!
Mine was a Cornish game hen and I ate every bite!
What's that, it looks like it's upside-down?
Well, that's because it was!
That's how the cajun chef, Kevin Belton, had said to do it on his "New Orleans Kitchen" show.
Start it right side up for about 30 minutes, then flip it over, to keep the juices basting that breast meat.
Worked like a charm!
A marathon of "The Partridge Family"!!!
Hahahaha hahaha!
Very nice inside joke, Antenna TV!
When I told me ex about it, he thought it was probably just my perspective, but he was sweet enough to not word it that way.
"Wouldn't it be more appropriate at Christmas?"
(smile!)
He and Amy were off to her boss's house for a more traditional feast, like on this bird's kin.
That is one enormous turkey!!!
Apparently, it's the first float in the Macy's Parade every year!
I'm glad I woke up in time to catch it, though I have no idea why I had awakened so early.
It wasn't even 9 AM yet!
I don't usually wake until 10.
I'm chalking it up to right place, right time.
(smile!)
(smile!)
While I was waiting for my bird to cook, I was texting with family and friends, sending and receiving greetings of the day!
Mi amiga Barbara had been the first, last night before she went to bed - lol!
Sherry Moore was the first today, and I promptly 'borrowed' hers to send out as my own!
"May your Thanksgiving be filled with laughter, love, and delicious food!!"
Out it went through the ether, to my brothers Smitty and Tony and to my first niece Christina in Hinesville!
To cousin Penny in Tallahassee, cousin Bev in Augusta, cousin Sharon across the river in North Augusta!
To Aunt Babs in Glennville, stepmom Bonnie in Alabama, and Jeff the ex in Michigan!
To mi amigas Sandy and Carolyn!
To Dawn and the bfe and the bfrb and Christa and Sue G and Jackie!
And back to me the greetings and love and virtual hugs came!
I am so blessed...
and so very grateful to have so many who love me...
on this day of Thanksgiving.
i thank You, God.
(smile!)

While searching for something else, I came upon these notepad memos that I'd forgotten to include.
Hahahaha!
Better late than never, right?

Thank you sweet Tina.
Just us this year... don't want to die!
Taking plates of food to 4 single friends around 6 ... my daddy would be proud.
I love you, Tina... I'm so thankful for you!
Christina Ann in Savannah, GA
It has been. How is yours? Yummy I hope.

Same to you, my Dear!

Jeff McD: To you too. Going to Smitty's?
me: No, making my own Cornish game hen! Plus, Christina is having Thanksgiving at her home tomorrow, so i have that. What about yall?
Jeff: A hen, in a crock pot? Or is it too big for that? We're at her boss/friend's in Lake Orion, about 10 minutes away from Mom's condo.
me: This time i am cooking it in the oven, along with butternut squash.
Jeff: Sounds good! You have fun too.
me: Watching The Partridge Family marathon on tv. Good inside joke on Turkey day!
Jeff: I would think that would be a more appropriate joke for Christmas.
me: Ah, but a bird is a bird!
me: I see that y'all live near the Huron forest. Would you mind taking a photo of a group of trees for me?
me: For Daddy's last birthday, i had 72 trees planted for him. That forest is where Arbor Day Foundation placed them.
Jeff: That's actually close to Cadillac but we go there on occasion. We'll be glad to!
me: Thanks! No rush, but it has been on my mind. That National Forest actually has five areas, all spread around your state. Huron-Manistee National.
