This pen was full of fluttering turkeys Sunday afternoon when we came home from church. Today the pen is empty. What ever could have become of all those birds? I snapped the photo back in October when the sun was bright and the days were warm. Wherever those turkeys went, I hope it's warm... with potatoes and cranberry sauce.Tomorrow is the big day. We'll have a turkey of our own on the table, complete with all the trimmings. I baked three pumpkin pies today and a batch of Boston brown bread. Tomorrow I shall stuff the turkey and pop it into the oven. I am looking forward to a wonderful day surrounded by my family. Mom and Dad will be here and most of our kids. I hope Jim gets a big piece of pumpkin pie tomorrow. He'll be spending Thanksgiving in Minnesota, probably with his friend Dan.
Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI made 2 pies today...pecan and apple, sausage stuffing for the turkey, and Boston brown bread. Have a great day giving thanks! I'll miss you guys tomorrow. I hope you don't have puzzle piece eating dogs. Koty chewed one piece to ours today, I was so bummed.
ReplyDeleteI just wrote a comment and it disapeared...I don't know what I'm doing....anyway, thanks for the heads up about personal information showing up in my photos. I know some people just use their last names, but I am a bit wary of the wierdos out there....and: Happy Thanksgiving!!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful thanksgiving and enjoy the time with your family!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving, my friend Martha! I hope you had a great day with your family. We had all our kids (including our new kid Kevin;) and my parents. Such a nice day. Will Jimmy be home for Christmas??
ReplyDeleteOkay, and what is Boston brown bread that both you and Rachel have made?
ReplyDeleteHeather- It's a traditional Thanksgiving thing in our family, and it is delicious. It is a very simple sweet bread with raisins in it, and is baked in cans. My Steven used to call it "cookie with raisins" when he was little. :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't get any pumpkin pie. In fact, I didn't get any pie at all. When you eat Thanksgiving dinner at 7:30 pm, there isn't too much time afterward for pie. I'll have to remember that next year and eat my pie early.
ReplyDeleteI am planning on coming home for Christmas. And I miss Boston brown bread. Maybe I have a recipe somewhere...
Jim, there will be pie when you return for Christmas and I am thinking of having a Christmas Eve breakfst too.
