My Favorite Thanksgiving Story

Years ago Andy and I were invited to a friend’s for Thanksgiving dinner. I was looking forward to it but knew I would miss the leftover turkey. So Thanksgiving morning I went to the store and bought one, figuring I should start defrosting it to have it a few days later.

When I was at the store I ran into a colleague from work. He looked at the frozen turkey in my cart, looked at me, and said.

You don’t believe in planning ahead, do you Jean?

I still laugh every time I think of it.

    I thought about sending my Dave to the grocery store today to buy turkey and pumpkin pie so we could have “leftovers” but he reminded me our grocery store is inside Target and today is Black Friday. So nevermind.

      Yes! When Kaitlin was little we made the mistake of going shopping in Santa Fe the day after Thanksgiving. We didn’t stay long and learned our lesson. 😀

    That is a very funny story. We had our two daughters and families here for Thanksgiving, only missing our son and family from Texas. I always cook two turkey breasts so that there ae plenty of leftovers for hubby and me after the big day. We finished it up with sandwiches today after a second full hot meal Friday and sandwiches yesterday. The cost of a turkey is well worth it – it goes a long way for a good price.
