Happy Turkey Day everyone! This year with the wind and the rain reminds me of the year that Mom, Suzie and I went to NY to see the Macy's parade. I want to say it was 1992, but I could be wrong. Mom was festive as usual and her so so excited self only made Suzie and I more miserable to be standing in the rain. I wish I had appreaciated her back then. We attempted to see the Statue of Liberty but there was too much fog, the ferry was closed. Still to this day I have never seen her. Every time I'm on a plane, I'm on the wrong side and I miss it, even from overhead!
Steve and I were watching the news this morning, and I was a little disturbed to see the new sport of "Turkey Bowling". Apparently a big enough event that Miss Ohio was present. Now, I'm by no means a vegetarian, but I think there's something off color about a poor turkey dying only to be used as a bowling ball. It was in a regular package, but I cant imagine they are really going to then cook it up and eat it after its been sliding across some gross floor for hours. Are they? I love thanksgiving and I love turkey but I just don't want to think about the actual animal before I'm eating it. That goes for any meat I eat. But every year just before Thanksgiving, the news crews go to a turkey farm and do a story from their "death row". Or there's others who make it a point to say how many turkeys were killed this year. I understand the food chain, but I just find that so disturbing!
Anyway, lets get back to the real meaning of Thanksgiving, which is being thankful for what we have.
