The Return of the Gobble

It's that time again! Gobble time!

When I figured out that I'd actually get to go with my grandfather to get the turkey this year, I was thrilled! Tuesday afternoon we'll cart ourselves out to White's Turkey Farm and pick up the 30 lb behemoth.

Wednesday night we'll gather to break the bread for the stuffing.

And Thursday, I'll make my Uncle Josh's fabulous Kentucky Pecan Pie, including dark chocolate! Mmmmm......

And we'll probably all gather for leftovers on Friday.

Life is good!

A quote for this sunny, and yet freezing, Friday...

"Our rural ancestors, with little blest,Patient of labour when the end was rest,Indulged the day that housed their annual grain,With feasts, and off'rings, and a thankful strain."
~Alexander Pope
