We also watched filmstrips of pilgrims.<br /><br />I think your response to Margaret was very kind. There are, of course, turkeys one can buy that are raised humanely. <br /><br />I'm thankful for you, Pom Pom!<br /><br />xofrancesLeft-Handed Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014518128739580267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-30787050713892910752010-11-17T16:31:58.034-08:002010-11-17T16:31:58.034-08:00Hi Pom,

A turkey, green bean casserole, a pie or two, & the rest take out ;) Oh yes, my friend..... take the simple (easier) road and enjoy! <br /><br />Oh and I wanted to share something with you that Chloe's been saying, I think it's so cute and I think that you'll think so too-- "Faith, trust, and pixie dust" ~smiles~ I have a feeling that she may have heard tinkerbell say this ;)Jessica Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06593410807412914838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-14779231556912153712010-11-17T06:58:03.659-08:002010-11-17T06:58:03.659-08:00Don't work too hard!

J's going to bring a home made pie and roast a turkey when we get there -- the rest is going to be take out! First time we've ever done this, but I think we're going to like this stress--less Thanksgiving.<br />Happy Thanksgiving to you & yours!Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14709314864693421679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-52143778565599015582010-11-16T20:55:30.608-08:002010-11-16T20:55:30.608-08:00aaaawww.. such a cute post..

Buy the pie- buy two!<br /><br />I do so envy you your Thanksgiving. Such a fabulous personal harvest.<br /><br />I think your self-portrait makes you look very much like a significantly younger serveuse of turkey. Instead of fretting over cooking, sit down and sketch a Thanksgiving one with this year's apron of choice!<br /><br />School is like the Chinese blessing/curse- may you live in interesting times!

Thank you for your helpful comment. I ...Margaret, <br />Thank you for your helpful comment. I did not know how the food industry fattens turkeys. That's horrible. I think of all the frozen and fresh birds, just at the grocery store I shop at. I'm not big on gorging, but I think your word choice helped make your point. I'm glad you voiced your opinion.Pom Pomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524994024698986829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-82440184404981409472010-11-16T13:43:45.939-08:002010-11-16T13:43:45.939-08:00You choose to have a creatures life taken so you c...You choose to have a creatures life taken so you can gorge yourself. Where is the compassion in that?<br />Are you even aware how turkeys are fattened for your consumption? By force feeding. A tube put down their gullet and pellets forced down until the turkey is swollen and in pain. <br />Much suffering for your gorging pleasure.<br />MargaretAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-33789508390915179212010-11-16T09:37:44.703-08:002010-11-16T09:37:44.703-08:00Loverly post as always.

So archaic/vintage now! <br /><br />I was THANKFUL to read that Bill does not like fowl either, just like my Tom. I am not alone. Sometimes I throw on a ham to bake while the turkey's roasting. <br /><br />I like your idea of a white sheet of paper as the tablecloth so everyone can write or doodle on it. Do you ever use freezer paper for that?<br /><br />Enjoy your Happy Thanksgiving. I will too.<br /><br />JodyGumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-22414286099130688232010-11-16T05:59:31.339-08:002010-11-16T05:59:31.339-08:00"What was I thinking?"
